Help us to manage the pressures on GP time

There is increasing demand on general practice and from listening to patients about waiting on the phone or not getting the appointment they need, we know it causes huge frustrations for everyone.

It’s estimated 50 million visits to the GP are made every year for minor ailments and there are alternative ways of getting treatment. For full details of your options go to:
