Re: home visits
There is something else that I feel should be said. There is a general shortage of doctors. A lot have been retiring and there aren’t enough young doctors coming to replace them. Our surgery has become less willing to provide home visits. A few months ago, I had a crisis and what I got was describing my problem to a doctor over the telephone. She prescribed something which did the job. The prescription was then sent to my local pharmacy via the Internet and Mrs Magoo went and collected it. Job done.Re: home visits
This BBC News item may be of interest to those posting on this thread, it gives details of GPs voting to end home visits:Re: home visits
Regarding emergency numbers, this is handy to keep for reference. It gives information about 112.Re: home visits
Re: home visits
Here if you ring 111 & talk to a nurse you get better treatment, the nurse I spoke to took all my details then said she would ring my surgery & get a Doctor to ring me, she did & I thanked her, a few minutes later Doc rang me & I got an appointment that afternoon. If I'd rung the surgery I have had to wait several days in agony. My Son took me down & Daughter picked me up. I could hardly walk for the pain but at least I got seen, had tests & got medication. I go back Monday for more tests.Re: home visits

Re: home visits
I always thought 112 was an emergency number to ring if you were abroad, I didn't know you could use it in this country.
