HOME VISITS AND NURSING HOME VISITS
Home visits and nursing home visits can be arranged when you’re unable to make it into the surgery. Please inform our reception staff if you or another family member requires a visit.
FILE TRANSFER
In order for a patient’s medical record to be transferred elsewhere, the patient will need to sign a consent form at the other practice, which will need to be sent to us. Once received by the other surgery, an account will be created. When this administration fee has been paid, our surgery will then release medical records to the surgery requested.
