    The problem is if you have anything that obviously requires medical intervention, even if non-serious, they can’t just issue a prescription over the phone, so you up having to go to the GP or A&E anyway, so why not just go there directly and skip the phone call?

      Not a lot of places do in person appointment booking now. They definitely don’t encourage it anyway and usually prefer it to be done via the NHS app if possible. Mines not on the app yet outside of applying for getting a recurring prescription sent to a pharmacy
