4 questions in this topic

• How do I book an appointment?

  Use this website's online form to find a GP surgery that can offer the care you need near your home address. There will then be an option to book an appointment of your choice, call the surgery directly or, for some surgeries, use their own website to request an appointment.
• Can I book a same-day appointment?

  Same-day appointments depend on availability at your chosen practice. This website allows you to compare available appointments in your local area, making it easier to book same-day appointments. If you have significant concerns about your health, call 111 on your phone to get assistance from NHS 111 or call 999 for emergency services.
• I want to book an appointment with my own GP, how do I do this?

  Use this website's online form to find your own GP surgery, confirm you are an existing patient and use the phone number or online form to request an appointment. Alternatively, this website will allow you to get an appointment of your choice with a new GP surgery.
• Can I book an appointment with a different GP if mine has no availability?

  Yes, this website will allow you to view the appointment availability of other GP surgeries in your area. You will be able to book an appointment of your choice. However, in order to secure the appointment you will need to register with this GP surgery. This will mean moving your care away from your existing GP. You would need to re-register if you want to return to your existing GP surgery.
