About finding a GP in England

England has 6,277 NHS GP surgeries across 9 regions. Bookable lists all of them, and every practice we partner with offers online registration and bookable appointments without the phone call. You can register with any GP whose catchment area covers your postcode, and many GP surgeries also accept patients from outside their main area when they have capacity.

If you're new to the UK or don't have an NHS number, you can still register — the law requires GP surgeries to register anyone living in their area, regardless of immigration status, NHS number, or proof of address. Bookable's registration flow asks the right questions to make sure your GP surgery has what it needs to register you.

Need a same-day or urgent appointment? Use the postcode search above and filter by availability. For medical advice when your GP is closed, call NHS 111. For a life-threatening emergency, call 999.
