If you live a long way from your parents, or simply cannot be there every time something comes up, membership gives your mum or dad their own local GP, and gives you peace of mind.

Their own doctor, close to home

Your parent has a named GP who lives and works in their area, and sees them time after time. Their membership can stand on its own: they do not need to be part of your household, and you are welcome to arrange it for them.

Seen at home, without the trip

No struggling to the surgery or waiting on the phone at 8am. Home visits run Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, usually the same day if they call before 11am, and always within 24 hours. Appointments are unhurried, typically 30 to 45 minutes, and blood tests can be taken at home.

You stay in the loop

With your parent’s consent, their GP can keep you updated, so you hear how they are doing and what the plan is, rather than piecing it together second hand. And there is a doctor on the phone 24/7 if they, or you, are worried.

In an emergency, always call 999.

Someone to join up the dots

Their GP reviews medication, issues prescriptions electronically with next-day delivery on request, and makes referrals to the consultant of their choice. One doctor who knows the whole picture makes a real difference when several things are going on at once.
