Booking Emergency GP Appointment Central London

Emergency or urgent GP appointments in central London can be secured within hours through appropriate clinical pathways, addressing acute presentations without requiring A&E attendance when clinically inappropriate.

Understanding Urgent vs Emergency Presentations

Urgent presentations requiring same-day assessment include sudden onset infections (fever, productive cough, dysuria), injuries requiring examination, acute pain, and medication-related concerns. Urgent presentations do not indicate life-threatening emergencies but require same-day professional assessment to prevent deterioration. True emergency presentations requiring immediate A&E attendance include severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, suspected stroke, severe bleeding, unconsciousness, and severe allergic reaction.

The distinction determines appropriate care pathway and response time.
