About the service:
Greater Peterborough Network’s Home Visiting Service has been put into place to support GP Practices to provide timely care for their housebound patients. GP Practices can refer to their patients to the Home Visiting Service and one of our Health Care Assistants will go to a patients home to carry out basic procedures, such as blood tests, blood pressure checks, height and weight checks, and urine screening. The team have full access to the patients record and the results of the checks are added to their record as soon as available.
