and I've worked for most of my career as a GP in the UK.

All of the different surgeries are independently run,

so things will be different in different practices.

Things like how they organise their appointment system

Lots of surgeries now are doing telephone appointments,

lots are still doing come down to the GP and get seen.

In lots of surgeries, you can now book online.

with the surgery that you're registered at

So if you want to book a Covid vaccination,

to go to one of the major Covid vaccination centres

If you're going to have it there, they will call you

Or now there are lots of pop up walk-in centres

that you can go to, to have it done there.

and see where that's being offered and done.

So I received the text message to have my vaccine done

No, because some surgeries aren't doing it

and it would all be done in one central place.

Someone asked an interesting question which was,

how much do people pay for the NHS every year,

even if you're not sick at all and you don't use the NHS,

Well, how much taxpayers pay I think is unclear.

Individuals just don't pay anything for the NHS.

It doesn't matter whether you use it a lot

or you don't use it at all, you don't pay anything.

Increasingly, medicine, and GP practices in particular,

So you may be called by your GP surgery to come in

such as for instance, your blood pressure,

But you don't pay anything for that either.

But that's not true for prescriptions, right?

So there are some things that you do have to pay for.

Prescriptions, most adults will have to pay for,

so patients over the age of 65 don't need to pay.

Patients who've got ongoing particular medical conditions,

But everyone else has to pay a prescription charge

So it doesn't matter what drug you receive,

Another big question that everyone keeps asking is,

and is it normal to wait about 2 months to see someone?

Everything has to come through the GP or the GP surgery.

The GP surgery is what's called the gatekeeper

you need to be referred by someone in your GP surgery.

But it could be a nurse or it could be a pharmacist

in the practice or it could be lots of...

who are starting to work within the practice

such as physiotherapists, pharmacists, paramedics.

But it needs to be somebody within that system.
