Registering with Scottish Dr, will operation in England be cancelled?

[starfish4]

DD is at a Scottish uni. She had to see a doctor urgently in the summer and was told she would have to totally de-register with her Scottish doctor to be seen here.

She's now on the waiting list for an operation in England, but been told it'll be months at the moment. In the meantime, she'll probably need 2/3 emergency operations for flareups in the area so will definitely need to de-register here to be seen up in Scotland. She worried if she registers in Scotland her operation in England will be cancelled. Does anyone know how it works?

I have no knowledge but my bet is that once she is on the English hospital system on a waiting list she will stay there and then get called for the operation. If the GPs and the hospital liaised to that extent I would be very surprised, given that different health areas even in England seem unableto share important things like test results and x rays in the experience of several friends of ours.

Just tell her to register as a temporary resident at her Scottish surgery when she goes back there - that way, she’ll stay permanently registered at her English surgery.

Her referral to hospital in England will have been sent from her English GP surgery, so to avoid any complications it’s best she stays registered with that surgery.

It would be best if she's permanently registered with a GP at her university address. Then she can temporarily register with a gp when at home on holiday. It wouldn't affect her getting surgery in England.

Here's more information

You can register as a temporary resident if you plan to live near the GP surgery for up to 3 months.

After 3 months you will have to apply to register with that surgery as a permanent resident.

You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You'll remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.

The temporary GP surgery will pass details of any treatment you have to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records

Thanks for your replies. Our local surgery (England) wouldn't let her register as a temporary patient , so hopefully she can do that with the uni doctors practice. Either way, looks like she'll need to see doctors, nurses and hospitals in both areas as she's going to need incisions and drains followed by three weeks of nurses applying clean dressings maybe every 10-12 weeks, until she can get the main operation. We're 600+ miles apart and she's in agony when treatment is needed so can't just get the train back.

Depending on what the surgery is, would it maybe be simpler for her to have the operation in Scotland, if she get referred there instead?
