How do I request an appointment with my general practitioner in Oviedo?

What's the difference between a general practitioner and emergency services?
A general practitioner (or family doctor) is your primary doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease follow-up, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (acute pain, high fever, accident). Use emergency services only for urgent cases.
Can I request an appointment outside of my health center's hours in Asturias?
For urgent care outside regular health center hours (typically until 20:00-22:00), you can use the Puntos de Atención Continuada (PAC) across all of Asturias, available around-the-clock. For severe emergencies, call 112.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (children under 18, elderly relatives) using the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my general practitioner?
For non-urgent cases, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 working days depending on demand in your area. If it's an urgent but not critical situation, you can request it as 'urgent' during your appointment.
