GP Appointments - Do you know how they run?

GP surgeries in Darlington have released information on appointments, including appointment length and communication between staff and patients.

Need to discuss more than one health concern at your GP appointment? Here's what you need to know!

Each GP practice has slightly different rules on how much time is allocated per appointment—especially if you're dealing with multiple issues.

  • Most offer 10 to 15-minute appointments
  • Some allow multiple simple issues in one slot (at the GP’s discretion)
  • For complex or multiple concerns, you may need to book a double appointment

Always tell reception if you have more than one issue—this helps them give you the time you need and keeps things running smoothly for everyone.

Your time matters, and so does your care! 

A full overview of the rules in each GP surgery in Darlington is available to download below.
