Out of Hours & Home Visits

Our patients have access to Out of Hours through 12 Point Care, at the nearby Sollershot GP surgery. There is also an Urgent Care Centre at Lister Hospital, Stevenage, which includes Mental Health Urgent Care. The Hertfordshire Acute In Hours Visiting service see our patients for any acute issues, which hugely reduced the number of home visits performed by our GPs, usually to 0 or 1 per week. This is generally to provide care to Palliative patients or routine matters for housebound patients on our own lists.
