What do I do if I can't see a GP?

In this video, I'll be taking a look at the alternatives for when you're struggling to book an appointment with your General Practitioner.

If you or a loved one have been finding it difficult to get an appointment or even to speak to someone on the phone at your GP Surgery, this video is for you.

We'll take a look at the reason why it's become so difficult, before looking at newer and alternative options for contacting your surgery, getting advice and speaking to a healthcare professional.

My name is Dr Tom Micklewright, a Medical Doctor and Digital Health Specialist working in the NHS in the UK. Although I use some of the products and services in this video in my practice, I have not received any financial compensation from the developers of these products, so this is an independent video.

I am an employee at ORCHA,the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps, but this review was conducted independently of ORCHA, with full creative control retained by me, as author of this review.

I have a question. What about those who have no access to the internet or smart devices?
