What’s the most effective way of getting an appointment with my GP in the UK?

The most effective way of getting an appointment with your GP is calling the practice as soon as it opens. Usually this is 8 am. Some practices (but not all, you will need to check with your specific practice) have online booking systems.

If you need non-emergency medical advice the NHS has a healthcare hotline on 111, which means you can get quicker over the phone care and advice.
