Doctor at home
Is a member of your family unwell? Is it 3 a.m. and you have a fever? SOS Médecins is here to support you, advise you and send a doctor to your home, at any time and wherever you are.
What happens when you call?
The people you speak to, medical dispatch assistants, first work with you to identify your needs and how urgent your situation is, using precise medical questions, then put you through to our dispatch doctors for a more in-depth conversation. At the end of this conversation, SOS Médecins sends a doctor to your home: the specialist you need.
To ensure availability and proximity, the emergency number for a doctor at home can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays.
A home doctor in the speciality you need
SOS Médecins is recognised throughout the country for the expertise of its doctor-at-home service and for the range of specialities it covers. You can ask for:
- A general practitioner at home
- A diabetologist at home
- A paediatrician at home
- A dentist at home
- An intensive care doctor at home
All these doctors remain available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. SOS Médecins organises rotas and on-call shifts so that a doctor is always available near you, able to respond in an emergency.
How to prepare for your doctor’s arrival
The dispatch doctor gives you the most reliable information possible. While waiting for the doctor, gather any documents that may help with the diagnosis: your prescriptions, your usual medication, your children’s health records or any other useful medical document.
