DD needed GP treatment during uni holidays last week. She registered as a temporary patient with our family practice where she was treated before going away but was told to come back when she has finished the course of medecine (3 weeks). Practice manager says registration only lasts for 2 weeks and NHS choices website saying 3 months is wrong. She can't reregister as a temporary patient as they do not allow more than one temporary registration - she needs to reregister permanently to get a follow up appointment. She will then need to reregister permanently wth the student health service once she goes back in October. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems unecessarily bureaucratic to me!
