Your GP

General practitioners (GPs) treat all common medical conditions and refer patients to hospitals and other medical services for urgent and specialist treatment. You should be registered with a GP for any common ailments or medical support.  

Before you make an appointment to see your GP, please consider alternatives such as your local pharmacists or self care. 

• If you are registered with a GP please contact them for an appointment as soon as you begin to feel unwell to avoid your condition worsening.
• If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from any GP surgery.
• If you phone your GP surgery outside normal surgery hours, a recorded message will tell you who to contact or NHS 111 can help.

You can find details of GP surgeries local to you using the NHS website
