1. Choose and Book.
   

   http://www.chooseandbook.nhs.uk/
   "A national electronic booking service which gives patients a choice of place, date and time for their first outpatient appointment in a hospital or clinic. Patients can choose their hospital or clinic, and then book their appointment to see a specialist with a member of the practice team at the GP surgery, or at home by telephone or over the internet at a time more convenient to them."
   If you actually try it, it will tell you that "the web browser you are using is not compatible with the online Choose and Book service" and suggest you phone 0845 60 88 8 88 (7 am to 10 pm) instead.
