After hours and urgent medical centres (A&E)
Online and over-the-phone doctor services
Doctor services online or over the phone often have appointments available on the same day. You do not need to be enrolled to use some of them. They are a good option if your usual doctor or nurse cannot fit you in. There will be a cost.
