Getting to a clinic is not always straightforward, particularly for patients managing pain, limited mobility or a slow recovery. Gwenchana Home Based Care and Occupational Services arranges GP medical care in the home, bringing the consultation to you rather than the other way around.
What Does a Home GP Visit Include?
A home visit generally covers what a clinic consultation would: a general check-up, review of ongoing conditions, prescription updates and referrals where needed. The GP works alongside our nursing team, who can carry out any follow-up care required between visits.
When Should You Consider This Service?
Families often request this service after a hospital discharge, for elderly patients who struggle to travel, or when a chronic condition needs regular medical oversight. It also suits anyone who simply prefers to be assessed in their own home.
What Can You Expect?
- A general health assessment and consultation
- Review and adjustment of current medication
- Referrals to specialists where necessary
- Follow-up planning with our nursing team
How Do You Arrange a Visit?
You can arrange a visit directly with our team or include it as part of an existing nursing or caregiving plan. It helps to let us know what the visit is for beforehand, so the GP has the relevant information available and knows what may need to be discussed or checked.
Appointments are arranged around your schedule, and our nursing team remains available to follow up on anything raised during the consultation. A GP visit often works well alongside Registered Nursing Care or ongoing Vital Signs Monitoring, giving your doctor a fuller picture between appointments.
