Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my primary care physician in Cáceres?
In Cáceres, your appointment with the primary care physician is managed through SES — Servicio Extremeño de Salud. You can request it online at https://saladextremadura.ses.es/web/cita-previa, by calling the phone number of your health center (find it on sesexpaciente.ses.juntaex.es), or in person at the reception desk of your health center. You can also use the Salud Extremadura app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a primary care physician and an emergency room?
A primary care physician (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease follow-up, and specialist referrals. The emergency room is for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using the ER for non-urgent issues can overwhelm the system.
What medical specialties are available in Extremadura?
Extremadura has the University Hospitals of Badajoz and Cáceres, which cover most specialties. For very specific interventions, there may be referrals to hospitals in Salamanca or Madrid. Rural health centers have specialists who visit periodically.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a family member (children under 18, elderly dependents) via the same channels. You will need their health card number.
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, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment.
