Due to the high demand of GPs, going forward Hathaway Medical Centre will not be visiting patients at their home in the afternoon after our morning requests have come in.
We have agreed that anyone urgent enough to need a GP visit in the afternoon should be calling an ambulance, anyone else should be able to wait until the morning.
Our cut off for home visits will be 12pm. Any home visit requests that come in between 11am and before the 12pm cut off will be passed to the triage and highlighted so they can be dealt with ASAP and allocated with a GP as necessary.
The few exceptions to this are patients under palliative care however anyone else will fall under this change.
