About GP appointments and bookings
Depending on your situation, GP surgeries can offer appointments with a range of health professionals, including a GP, nurse, clinical pharmacist, or physiotherapist. Appointments may be face-to-face, over the phone, or online. You may be able to get an appointment on the same day.
You can contact your GP by:
- using a form on your GP surgery's website (many surgeries also have a form you can access if you use the NHS App or log into your account on the NHS website)
- phoning them
- in person, by going into the surgery and talking to the receptionist
You may also be able to book GP appointments online using other apps and online services your GP surgery uses.
If you are not registered with a GP surgery
If you are not registered with a GP surgery or are away from home, you can call any GP surgery to get emergency treatment for up to 14 days.
If your treatment lasts longer than 14 days, you must register as a temporary or permanent resident.
