You can see any GP for emergency treatment, and you can register as a temporary resident with most GP practices.

Lockets :yes:

Ive just got rid of a real bad sore throat. Strepsils, lockets, nothing would shift it and I couldnt get in the doctors cuz they're always fully bloody booked!! Anyway I went to the pharmacy and explained all that and she gave me these strepsil like things called dequacaine, they numb out the pain and get rid if the infection. Worked for me and I was in agony to be fair!!


edited to add:

Oh yeah they only cost £3.08 aswell so cheaper than prescription

Lockets, strepsils etc are crap. Get yourself down to the chemist and ask them for something there.

Yes, but a GP doesn't have to agree to register you as a temporary. You're more likely to be able to register as one at a large practice with several GPs - so best to ask neighbours and friends if they would recommend one like that. (Oh and make sure you're in their catchment area, Oooh, and I'd recommend you get a GP for occassions such as this!)

That's what I meant. The emergency treatment and temporary resident were separate options ;)

I know, I'm just stopping a potential 'YOU MUST REGISTER AND TREAT ME' scenario, which is a regular occurence in my line of work! :)
