Finding a doctor who is taking on patients

Is there any source of information which tells you (a) where the doctors are in your area and (b) which are most likely to take on patients?

I have no idea of an “official” source… but our Mairie is a font of information.
Perhaps because we are a small commune and out in the sticks… they seem to know what’s going-on and are keen to help their residents…

I have personal experience of their “going that extra mile” to find a Doc for a new Brit in dire need…

Have you tried asking someone at yours…???

No - but that’s a great idea - thanks!

You can also contact the coordinating body…

That’s interesting - if you can’t find an MT, they offer tele-consultations. Thanks

Have you tried contacting the doctors directly? that sometimes helps. Yellow pages or telephone book, even Google.

And maybe look for a group practice. That’s the way it’s going round us and it’s easier for a group of doctors to take on more patients. Single practices with the doctor on their own they can just literally get to the point where they can’t take any more.
