APEX GETTING A GP APPOINTMENT IN KENT AND MEDWAY

In February 2024:

  • 1 in 2 people across Kent and Medway had a GP appointment.
  • 60 per cent of patients had a face-to-face appointment with a GP.
  • GP practices in our patch provided over 933,000 appointments.

And all with the lowest number of GPs per head of population in England!

Our Apex team continues to work flat out to help our patients get the care they need when they need it, but as you can see from these figures, we can’t do it alone. You can really help us by:

  • Contacting hospitals directly to check waiting times.
  • Being kind to our staff.
  • Letting us know if you no longer need an appointment by cancelling it so we can help others.
