Appointments
There are different ways to get medical help, depending on your needs and wants.
You might not need to be seen in person. Someone who isn’t a doctor could help more quickly.
Book an Appointment
Contact our medical team online.
You can check your symptoms, get self-help advice or send us a message. We will get back to you in 2 working days.
If you need to be seen by a Doctor, you can book an appointment. Someone else might be able to help quicker, or without seeing you in person.

Wasted appointments make it harder for us to see patients. Help us by cancelling in advance.
