Out-of-hours doctors reluctant to do home visits, say patients
Date:11/29/2007

ere reluctant to carry out home visits, with many saying that the services discouraged these in favour of getting the patient to come in to a treatment centre.

Picking up medicines out of hours also posed problems, particularly for those in rural areas, or those that did not have a car.

Around 13% of people in England use an out of hours service, say the authors, and most of them tend to be young children, the elderly and people with complex health needs.

Building on their research, the researchers have also developed a questionnaire which, they propose, should be widely used in monitoring patients experience of out of hours care.
