I can't get a GP appointment unless it's an emergency (in which case I would go to hospital, surely?) without being registered.

I can't register without filling in some forms, and attending in person. The registration won't be complete until I've had a separate check up. They will let me make an appointment with a GP as soon as I've handed in the forms.

My nearest GP surgery opens almost exactly the latest time I leave the house, and closes at the time I usually get home. They're not open on Saturday. I can't take any time off work to do this this month.

If I slope off work early, I may just have time to grab my passport and a utility bill and register tonight. Then hope they have a late appointment later, and slope off work early again.

If it wasn't for comments I'm not sure I could be bothered.

It's always complicated registering new GPs: I was profoundly grateful that when I moved about a mile within London, my GP let me stay put! Mind you, I'm asthmatic, so I see him quite a bit.

Personally, I think a chiropractor is the way to go for your shoulders, but I've not found one I liked since my first one moved to Yeovil. Let alone one in a convenient location!
