The everyday questions deserve real attention.

A new symptom, an ongoing concern, a question you have been putting off. General medicine starts with a thoughtful GP conversation and a plan shaped around what is going on for you.

Allhours GP is in development. This page describes planned general medicine care; live appointments, clinician details, consultation length and prices are not yet available here.

What general medicine covers

When something is on your mind.

General medicine is a starting point for many health questions. Your GP will listen, consider your history and decide what can be assessed safely in the appointment you choose.

New symptoms

Something new or changing

Talk about a new illness, a symptom that has changed or a concern you are unsure how to approach.

Persistent concerns

Questions that keep coming back

Explore symptoms that have not settled and whether a closer examination or investigation is needed.

Skin health

Skin, rashes & acne

Discuss changes in your skin and whether a photo, in-person examination or referral would help.

Everyday health

Allergy & breathing

Review symptoms, current treatment and whether another form of assessment is needed.

Digestive health

Stomach & bowel concerns

Talk through discomfort or changes and agree on an appropriate next step.

Ongoing care

Medicines & follow-up

Ask about an existing treatment or a longer-term concern; prescribing follows clinical assessment.

These are examples, not a complete list or a promise that every symptom can be diagnosed in one appointment. Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms may need urgent care.

A considered consultation

A clearer way forward.

We are designing the GP journey to help you explain your concern, understand the assessment and leave with a practical plan.

Explore appointment options

Tell us what matters

Share the reason for your appointment and relevant history when booking opens, so the right format can be considered.

Talk it through with a GP

Your GP can ask questions, discuss your symptoms and consider whether an examination or test would make the assessment safer.

Understand the plan

Know what to do next, what to look out for and whether treatment, investigation or onward care is appropriate.

Choose a suitable setting

Care can begin in more than one way.

The right appointment depends on your concern and clinician availability. A GP may advise a different format if a remote conversation is not enough.

An appointment format, location or visit window is not available until it appears in a live booking journey. Home visits are separate from planned 24/7 online GP access.

Beyond the conversation

The next step should make sense.

A GP consultation may end with advice, a treatment decision, an investigation or a recommendation for a different service. The aim is to understand why and what to do if things change.

Tests, referrals and prescriptions depend on clinical judgement and service availability. Any additional service and cost should be explained before you agree to it.

Advice you can use, based on the assessment and your circumstances.

Treatment if appropriate, including a prescription only after a safe clinical decision.

Further care when needed, such as a test, examination or referral.

Good to know

Before you speak with a GP.

The practical questions about planned general medicine appointments.

What is a general medicine appointment for?

It is a starting point for a wide range of new or ongoing health concerns. A GP can ask about symptoms and history, consider an assessment and explain the next step. Some concerns need a specialist or urgent service instead.

Can every concern be assessed by video or phone?

No. Some concerns need an in-person examination, test or a different service. A clinician will consider whether a remote format is suitable for your symptoms. Explore in-person GP care.

Will I get a diagnosis in one appointment?

Not always. Your GP may need more information, an examination, test or follow-up before making a safe diagnosis or treatment decision.

Can a GP arrange tests or a referral?

A GP may recommend a test or referral when clinically appropriate. Availability, location and any extra costs would need to be explained separately.

Will I receive a prescription?

Only if a GP decides it is appropriate after assessment. A consultation does not guarantee a medicine, and pharmacy supply may involve separate arrangements and charges.

Can I book a general medicine appointment now?

Not through this page. Allhours GP is in development; live times, clinician details, consultation length and full prices will be displayed before payment when booking opens.

What if I need help urgently?

Call 999 for a life-threatening emergency. If you need urgent help and are unsure where to go, use NHS 111. This page has no live appointment availability.
