Home visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.

We regret that we are not able to offer a choice of doctor for Home Visits.

Teaching Practice

We are an approved teaching practice and therefore from time to time support GP registrars, foundation doctors and medical students

GP registrars

GP registrars are qualified doctors who have chosen a career in General Practice. When present in the surgery they are undertaking further training under Dr Sidhu’s supervision prior to taking up a position in the practice of their choice.

Foundation doctors

Postgraduate Medical education in the UK begins with the foundation programme. The new structured training programme bridges the gap between medical school and GP training. They work under the direct supervision of Dr Sidhu

They are required to do a four month placement in order to gain experience in General practice.

Medical Students

We take medical students from university. They work under the direct supervision of Dr Sidhu.

Occasionally there may be a medical student in attendance whilst you have your consultation with your doctor. If you prefer you can request that you have your consultation without the student.
