2. Symptom Checker (Urgent Appointment)

Select ‘Book Urgent Appointment’ from the list, this may be listed as ‘Symptom Checker’ depending on your local surgery’s settings.

3. Complete the Questions

Before starting the symptom checker, you will first be asked a question to rule out any red flags which require urgent attention. Once you have selected ‘none of the above’ from the list of emergencies listed, you will then be prompted to give your main symptom.  You can use voice/speech or text to give answers.
