Trial of On-the-Day GP Appointment Booking

Please note: On-the-day GP appointments are not guaranteed. If we reach capacity, you will be signposted to an alternative service where appropriate.

What’s changing?

  • GP face-to-face appointments will now be booked on the same day only
  • Minor illness appointments with our Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Paramedic will continue to be bookable up to 48 hours in advance.

 How will it work?

When you complete a triage form, you’ll receive a text message with a self-booking link, allowing you to book your own appointment directly—rather than being allocated one.

Why the change?
This trial aims to:

  • Improve access to GP appointments.
  • Reduce the number of missed appointments.
  • Give patients more control over when they are seen.

We will be reviewing how the system is working throughout the 8-week trial, and we welcome any feedback

— positive or negative — to help us improve the process.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we trial this new system.
