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

I believe I'm still registered with a GP practise in a town I haven't lived in for twenty-five years. Good thing I don't get ill

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.

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.

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.

Phone 'NHS Direct', they will sort you out and get you into a local surgery.

Just google your symptoms and the internet will convince you which debilitating and terminal disease you have.

Just ring the local surgery, they'll normally give an appointment - would be a good idea to know your NHS number before you go.
