At Home GP Consultations
Get trusted medical care in the comfort of your home with SwissMed Clinic’s on call GP service in Dubai. If you feel too unwell to travel, need support for a loved one, or prefer a private setting, our experienced family doctors come to your doorstep with clear plans, gentle bedside manner, and direct access to follow up care.
What Is a Home GP Visit
A home visit brings a general practitioner to you for a full assessment and treatment plan without a clinic trip. Your doctor reviews symptoms and history, performs a physical examination, and provides diagnosis and immediate care where appropriate. Prescriptions and medical reports are issued on the spot, and any next steps are arranged before the doctor leaves.
What We Do During a Visit
Home appointments cover common medical needs for adults and children. Your GP can manage fevers, coughs, colds, flu like illnesses, minor infections, and allergies. Vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, and blood sugar are checked and recorded. Wounds are cleaned and dressed, stitches can be reviewed, and pain control is optimised. If you have recently left hospital, the doctor can review discharge notes, reconcile medications, plan dressings, and set a safe recovery schedule. When specialist input is needed, referrals are made quickly with a clear summary of findings.
Add On Services at Home
When indicated, our team can arrange mobile laboratory tests, nursing visits, and IV therapy at home. Results are shared with your GP so your plan is updated without delay. If imaging is required, we coordinate the fastest in clinic slot and ensure your arrival is streamlined.
Who It Helps Most
Home GP care is ideal for children, elderly patients, people with reduced mobility, those recovering from surgery, and busy families who prefer care at home. It is a convenient option for travellers staying in Dubai who need a prompt medical review with documentation for insurance or work.
How Your Visit Works
Booking is simple. Contact our front desk, share your location, and describe your symptoms. We confirm the earliest arrival time and the doctor calls ahead before setting off. During the visit the GP examines, treats, and explains your plan in clear language. Prescriptions and medical notes are provided, and a follow up by phone, WhatsApp, or video can be scheduled to check progress and adjust treatment if needed.
Safety, Privacy, and Hygiene
Your visit is delivered to clinical standards with strict hand hygiene and single use disposables. Doctors carry protective equipment and a portable kit for examinations and basic procedures. Your personal information is handled confidentially, and records are stored securely in our digital system so any SwissMed specialist can continue your care seamlessly.
When You Should Use Emergency Services Instead
A home GP visit is not a substitute for emergency care. Call local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department if you experience severe chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, heavy bleeding, loss of consciousness, severe head injury, stroke symptoms, or any rapidly worsening condition. If you are unsure, contact us and we will advise the safest next step.
Frequently asked questions Home GP
How quickly can a doctor reach me
We offer same day appointments in most areas of Dubai. Exact arrival time depends on your location and traffic. We will confirm an estimated window when you book.
What should I prepare before the visit
Have your ID, medication list, recent test results, and any discharge papers ready. A quiet, well lit space helps the examination. Please keep pets in another room.
Can children be seen at home
Yes. Our GPs routinely treat infants and children for common illnesses. If a hospital is safer for your child’s condition, we will guide you immediately.Most OPGs take less than a minute of exposure time and a few minutes in the room. CBCT scans are similarly quick, with image acquisition in seconds and total appointment time typically under ten minutes.
Do you bring medications
Doctors can provide prescriptions during the visit. Pharmacy delivery can be arranged when available, or a family member can collect medicines close to you.
Can you do blood tests at home
Yes. Many routine labs can be collected by a nurse at home. Results are shared with your GP and explained during follow up.
Is it covered by insurance
Coverage varies by policy. We provide itemised invoices and medical reports to support claims. Our team can advise on direct billing where agreements exist.
Can you issue sick leave certificates
Yes. Medical reports and certificates can be issued when clinically appropriate and aligned with local regulations.
What if I need a specialist
Your GP will provide a written referral and can coordinate a fast specialist appointment at SwissMed Clinic or your preferred provider.
