Sickness certificates (fit notes)

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

Home visits

Except in cases where someone is unable to leave their home for any purpose at all, it is better for them to be seen at the surgery. The doctor has access to the patients full medical record and a full range of medical equipment.

If you need a home visit, we ask that you contact us as early as possible in the morning, preferably before 10am.

Telephone: 0151 317 6350

You may be asked to provide the reception team with some details regarding why you require a home visit. Please do not be offended by this. This information is needed so that the doctor can assess the urgency and prioritise visits.

When to ask for a home visit

Our GP's will carry out home visits, but these are only for patients who are truly housebound, i.e. patients whose condition prevents them from being able to attend surgery.

When not to ask for a home visit

  • Please do not ask for a home visit unless the patient cannot make it to the surgery.
  • Most children can be safely brought to the surgery by car.
  • A number of patients can be seen at the surgery in the time that it takes to visit one patient at home.

Change or cancel an appointment

Please give us as much notice as possible so we can offer your appointment to someone else.

To cancel your appointment:

Phone us Monday to Friday from 8am to 6:30pm on 0151 317 6350
