Some patients, often those with complex and long-standing medical problems, may need an appointment with a doctor.
Chronic illness
Pre-existing conditions already identified by the GP
Non-urgent symptoms which are ongoing
Phone appointments: You can make a GP phone appointment instead of attending the GP practice. If you don't need to be examined, a phone appointment can be quicker and easier. If the doctor feels they need to see you, they will ask you to come in.
If the receptionist asks what is wrong with you, please tell them.
They are asking so they can find the best appointment for you. Reception staff are bound by the same confidentiality rules as doctors and nurses. They are not allowed to tell people outside the practice anything about you.
