Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with a general practitioner in Salamanca?
In Salamanca, you can manage your medical appointments through Sacyl — Health of Castilla and León. You can book online on the Junta de Castilla and León portal, call 012 (health care option), or visit the reception desk at your local health center. You can also use the Salud CyL app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a general practitioner and emergency services?
A general practitioner (or family doctor) is your usual doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease management, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations requiring immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, new alarming symptom). Using emergencies for non-urgent issues overwhelms the system.
How do I access a doctor if I live in a small town in Castilla y León?
Rural towns in Castilla and León have mobile medical services that visit local clinics periodically (usually 1-3 times per week). Check the clinic calendar at your municipality or on the Sacyl website.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (children under 18, elderly under care) through the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see a general practitioner?
For non-urgent cases, the typical 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 care, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment booking.
