Home medical visit
A licensed doctor comes to your home, examines the patient and tells you what should happen next.
What it is
A home medical visit is a full examination by a doctor, wherever the patient is.
The doctor listens to the complaints, examines the patient, checks vital signs and leaves written guidance: treatment, tests or a referral to hospital when that is needed.
Who it is for
- Patients who cannot, or should not, leave the house
- Older people and the families who care for them
- When you need a doctor at night or at the weekend

Common questions
Does the doctor come at night?
Yes. Home medical visits are made 24 hours, 7 days.
Can the doctor prescribe medication?
Yes, when the examination shows it is needed. The guidance is left in writing.
When should I call the emergency services instead of GoCare?
If life is at risk, such as severe difficulty breathing, strong chest pain or loss of consciousness, call the emergency services at once. GoCare is for visits that can wait for the doctor to reach your home.
How long does the visit take?
As long as a full examination and your questions need. The doctor does not rush.
