Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with a primary care physician in Palencia?
In Palencia, medical appointments are managed through Sacyl — Health of Castilla and León. You can request them online on https://www.saludcastillayleon.es/es/atencion-pacientes-usuarios/cita-previa, by calling 012 (healthcare option), or in person at the reception desk of your Health Center. You can also use the Salud CyL app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a primary care physician and emergency services?
The primary care physician (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic condition follow-ups, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-emergencies overloads the system.
How do I access a doctor if I live in a small village in Castilla y León?
Rural municipalities in Castilla and León have a mobile medical service that visits the local clinic periodically (usually 1-3 times per week). Check your clinic's schedule at your town hall or on Sacyl's website.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a family member (minor children, elderly under care) through the same channels. You will need the health card number of the family member.
How long do I have to wait to see my primary care physician?
For non-urgent consultations, the usual waiting time is 1 to 3 working days depending on demand in your area. If the reason is urgent but not severe enough for emergency services, you can request it as 'urgent' during your appointment.
