Understanding Your Options
When it comes to accessing GP services in the UK, you have two main options: NHS or private care. Each comes with its own advantages and considerations.
NHS GP Services
NHS GP services are free at the point of use and provide comprehensive primary care. Wait times can be longer, but the quality of care is generally high.
Private GP Services
Private GPs offer more flexible appointments and longer consultation times, but come with associated costs. They can be particularly useful for specific situations or when quick access is needed.
