Make an appointment with a local surgery and register as a temporary patient (fill in form). Take the form in with you to see the Doc and he'll write stuff on it. You then give the form to your own GP and they update your records.

Seeing a doctor

Watch out if you're in Germany. I went to a local doctor and tried to explain a persistent headache and flu symptoms, and they gave me a full-blown eye-test, which I thought was part of a new improved diagnosis method. They sent me a significant bill.
And my German dentist didn't use anaesthetic for a deep filling. Brits don't like to show pain to Johnny Foreigner, so I suffered in silence. Mug.
Neither spoke English, another reason why I was learning German.Comment

Tsk, tsk. Contractors these days.
Phone Bupa, get an appointment nearby in your lunch break. Job done, no invoicing time lost.
Only if you need expensive prescription drugs do you then make a follow up appointment with an NHS doctor so that you can get the subsidised prescription.Comment

Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Too right. Anyway : doesn't everyone know that dettol should be applied with a wire brush?Comment

Just call the nearest surgery and make an appointment, sign the form which makes you a temporary resident so a doc will see you.Comment
