Up until recently, you were able to go to your medical centre, or call them to get an appointment to see your GP. Now this is changing and a new system for appointments is being introduced to make it quicker for you and the health centres.
You can get an appointment by calling a central number. They will answer in Spanish, but it is quite easy to understand if you have basic Spanish. You will need your Social Security card ready. The number to call is 902 505 060. You can call this number any day of the week and at any time, as this is a 24/7 service. Ask for "Cita para mi medico", give your social security number on your card and accept the appointment that they give you. If it is not convenient just say "another time, another day", or "otra hora, otro dia" and if this is convenient, say yes.
At the top right hand page you will see the following box, which you will have to click:
On the box "No de Tarjeta Sanitaria", put your Social Security number, without leaving any space (the first number on your card - around 12 digits).
"Fecha de nacimiento" is your date of birth, eg; 05/02/1950.
On the box called "Tipo" click on the arrow and choose your identification document (passport, residencia DNI or other) and then insert the number of the document on the next box.
Click on "Conectar" and you will be taken to a new page.
On your left hand side you have a menu with several options. Click on "Cita para el medico" to make an appointment with your GP and then click on the following box:
"Usuario:" Your Name - "Solicitar (consultar o cancelar) Cita para Medico o Pediatra"
A new page will appear with the name of your doctor and a choice of choosing if you would like to be seen due to illness (default choice) or for prescriptions. Tick the appropriate choice, then click the date which suits you best and finally click on "Solicitar Cita". Now you can choose a time for your appointment and when decided, tick your choice and click on "Asignar Cita". Your appointment has been made and you can now print the appointment by clicking on the printer icon, or to cancel it, by clicking on Cancelar Cita".
