THANKS DOC! A huge thank you to everyone working in our GP Practices. New data shows GP Practices in Nottingham and Notts provided over 7.8 MILLION appointments in 2024 - an increase of more than 430,000 on the previous year. GP Practices in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire continue to work extremely hard to meet increasing demand for appointments. A range of healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists, nurses and social prescribers now work as part of GP Practice teams. Depending on your needs, you may be offered an appointment with one of these specialists, providing the most appropriate care as quickly as possible. And many practices now allow you to book appointments online or by using the NHS app, as well as by phone. While most appointments are still face-to-face, you may also be offered an online or telephone appointment, when appropriate, which some people find better to fit in around work and other commitments.
