About finding an NHS GP in England

England has more than 6,000 NHS GP surgeries. You can search them on Bookable, and the practices we partner with let you register and book appointments online, without a phone call.

You can register with any GP surgery that covers your postcode. Many surgeries also take patients from outside their area when they have space.

New to the UK, or do not have an NHS number? You can still register. You do not need proof of address, ID, immigration status, or an NHS number to register with a GP surgery in England. Bookable's registration form asks for the right details so your surgery has what it needs.

Need a same-day or urgent appointment? Use the postcode search above and filter by availability.

For medical advice when your GP surgery is closed, call NHS 111. For a life-threatening emergency, call 999.
