Safety precautions during out-of-hours care and domiciliary visits

Providing urgent care outside standard working hours or in a domiciliary setting comes with additional risks.

Overview

Ensuring your personal safety is paramount, whether you are opening the practice late at night or visiting a patient’s home.
