When to call
Day or night, when you need medical care at home.
Whether it be a common illness, such as the flu or a stomach virus, a minor trauma or injury, an infection, an asthmatic crisis or allergic reaction, or whether you are experiencing symptoms that may require urgent attention and a more thorough investigation, we’ll rapidly deliver the care you need.
When a home visit is just the best option.
Sometimes it’s not easy to seek the care you need outside of your home.
You have limited mobility or circumstances that make it too difficult to get to the doctor’s office. Maybe it’s the middle of the night. Your GP is unavailable. Or, perhaps your doctor considers a home visit to be the best option for your current condition.
Whatever the reason, we’ll come to you.
How we treat your call
Trained medical regulators are on hand 24h/24 to provide assistance, assess your condition and promptly dispatch a doctor to you.
1. A medical regulator takes your call
2. Brief initial assessment of your condition
3. Estimated time of doctor's arrival
Following the brief evaluation, the regulator dispatches a mobile doctor and provides an estimated arrival time of your scheduled doctor.
