GP Appointment, how long?

) (
over 5 years ago

So simple question, on average how long would you normally have to wait for an appointment to see your GP?

Depends on what the concerns or severity are of coarse, but to point out sudden worrying signs of deteriorating health for instance.

I rang mine today (11/12/2018, earliest being January 8th.2019.

Told them why and what my concerns were, made no difference.

just wondered if this is the norm out there?

thank you. ()

    If we want to book an appt with a specific doctor, then you have to call in shortly after they put up the next month's appts before they are all gone.  There are only a limited number of "scheduled" appts.  But we can call in and normally see one of the Doctors who are covering the general surgery same day as long as you're not fussy which doctor you see.
