**Woah nelly, I am not seeking medical advice**
I am a little unhappy with my current GP.
He seems to think I am a hypochondriac (which to be fair I probably am). But I do have one problem that he seems happy to let continue, despite multiple complaints.
Working with him in the practice are various foreign doctors, who to be frank, struggle with the language. For the most part, this wouldn't bother me. But given that I would be talking medical issues, I am reluctant to ask one of them (I am not very good talking to people as it is).
So I am considering registering at another practice.
I am reluctant to do this, as although my current GP isn't perfect, he is quick on the draw with the ol' prescriptions (all needed :() and I am used to him after all.
So my question is: Can I register at another practice, while still registered with my original one? Or do I have to swap over from one to the next.
I was registered with two NHS dentist's recently because of a similar situation (which neither really fixed). But I wonder if they are more strict with doctors.
Thanks
 
Well I wondered as its all on computer now if they could get my data independently from the original practice. But I have no idea if it is indeed stored elsewhere. Perhaps this is what you speak of (central db) :O
