I didn't see the Hilda's doctors, they won't let me any more :)
First time I tried to go to the doctor after I left college, I rang the Banbury Road practice, and was told I couldn't have an appointment because I didn't live in their catchment area any more. The fact that I was really quite ill, and not up to re-registering myself with another doctor didn't appear to be relevant.
I was very surprised, since the doctors in Darlington where I grew up won't let you change practices, even if you move house. The doctors my parents attend moved its premises to the other side of town, but they still have to trek over there even though there's now a new surgery 2 mins from their house.
