I'm still ill, and following my short stint in hospital last week, i decided to book an appointment today to see if i was getting any better 
so i'm on hold for 15 mins, and when i get through, i'm told that all the appointments are taken for this afternoon, so i ask if i can book one tomorrow, but apparently, i need to ring in the morning to book for tomorrow
so now im left having to try to blag another day off work, to ring the doctors on the off chance that i can get in
but hey, im not argueing, all the time im not at work, i dont have to pay tax cos im not being payed, so my money isnt being wasted on the NHS, which is still a huge joke

Ring ASAP in the morning... you'll be more lucky to get an appointment.. It's the same around here.. you can't book an appointment for the day after etc.. you have to ring for one on the day you ring if there is any left (if that makes any sense)

call them as soon as they open tomorrow and tell them you need an emergency appointment and they will always fit you in

we have morning surgery at ours which means anyone can go, appointment or not, between 9 and 10 to be seen by a doctor
I went this morning, got there @ 8.30, was seen at 9

It's the same over here. The government targets are that you can see your doctor within two days, therefore the surgerys only take appointments for that day so it looks like you've seen your doctor within 24 hours on their records.
