About GP appointments and bookings

GP surgeries can offer appointments with a range of health professionals including a GP, nurse, clinical pharmacist, or physiotherapist, depending on your situation. 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 

 You can call any GP surgery to get emergency treatment for up to 14 days if you are not registered with a GP surgery or are away from home. 
 
If your treatment lasts longer than 14 days, you will have to register as a temporary or permanent resident.
