Doctors are also called GPs
 

Here are some reasons you may need to see a doctor

• You are ill
    
• You need a vaccination
    
• You want a check up.
    

This is what you need to do if you need a new doctor

• Visit a doctor and ask for your name to be put on the list of patients.
    
• This is called ‘registering’ with a doctor.

Some areas have ‘walk in’ centres.
    

These are places where you can see a nurse or a doctor without needing an appointment.
