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.

My work has a less than 1 day sick/medical visit work code so I use that even for routine medical visits. Your work want you healthy otherwise they might have to pay out for lots of sick leave. Then again my employer is very flexible about working hours (currently trying to make up 17 hours of negative flexi-time - oops!)
