You can choose to book or cancel a appointment with a doctor online when it suits you. Your surgery will choose which appointments can be booked online. Please be aware that all on line booked appointments are face to face with the GP, if you are unable to attend please cancel your appointment or inform the surgery so the appointment can be offered to another patient.
