Transport to medical appointments (available to patients of 6 Exeter Surgeries, the Westbank Practice and GP surgeries in Teignmouth, Shaldon and Bishopsteignton)

If you are unable to make it to a medical appointment (eg. if you have no family or friends who can take you, or if you are unable to use public transport), we have volunteers who may be able to take you and stay with you.  There is no charge for the service, although we do have a suggested donation tariff.

Visiting & befriending (available to patients of 6 Exeter Surgeries, the Westbank Practice and GP surgeries in Teignmouth, Shaldon and Bishopsteignton)

We have volunteers who can visit people who are isolated in their homes.  This can be on a weekly basis, or on whatever basis suits both the volunteer and the person being visited.  Referrals need to come from either a medical professional or from Social Services.
