GP Appointment
GP Appointment Types ( most common )
Appointment Type | Duration | Purpose |
New Patient Appointment | 20-40 min | For your first visit, we recommend booking a New Patient appointment. This gives your GP time to understand your health history, discuss your concerns, and start building a trusted doctor–patient relationship. |
Short Consult | <5 min | Straightforward tasks such as prescription renewals, pathology result follow-up or simple advice |
Standard Consult | 5 – 20 min | Assessment and management of a single clinical issue (e.g. acute minor illness, review of one problem) |
Long Consult | 20 – 40 min | Management of multiple or more complex issues (e.g. chronic disease reviews, mental-health care plans) |
Prolonged Consult | >40 min | Comprehensive assessment and multidisciplinary care planning (e.g. complex presentations, extensive counselling) |
Results – Follow Up | 5-20 min | A results follow-up appointment allows your GP to review and explain test findings, discuss what the results mean for your health, answer any questions, and outline the next steps or treatment plan. |
