where abouts?

Normally your surgery has an online site you can get a log in and book appointments after you’ve gone in initially and registered. But I’m Bristol Avon way so I don’t know rest of the country. I want to get back to Thailand asap because the treatment is spot on

@Lynnette ******

where are you?

Are you not registered with one GP? No need to fill a form unless you’re an outpatient. I’ve been going back and fourth for years for conditions I won’t place here but I know the system now, only time you need to do a form is if new registration or if outpatient at different to your local GP clinic. Most is online now too, the portal lets you book your appointment

@Lynnette ******

depends tje area then as Bristol (Avon) if you xall at 8 they will offer phone or in person, often the phone is quick and at the end of the day or around lunch, but maybe different other locations. Depends on the severity of the appointment I’m sure.

Also A&E just very long waits, whereas over there you can get seen quite quick as I’m sure you know. There are less doctors at the moment so it’s difficult, but the NHS is free so use it, maybe go for a private quick appointment and the information can be passed to GP and NHS if you require immediate or expensive treatment

*GP/clinic waits, will offer phone call if u call early enough for appointment.

The healthcare system is much easier in Thailand. Since I came back after 1 year this time, I can’t get an appointment and pharmacists here will not help like

They do in Thailand, the waits have gone up massively over 15 years and a lot is remotely or phone call explaining symptoms, just get registered and book appointment and ask for your information maybe from Thailand about your condition to pass over?

I was just going to recommend, this helped for every trip I’ve taken. Saves a lot of money and effort

Xmax gym chiang mai. Has good accommodation hotel next door, gives a couple sessions a week, use of all gyms, offers Muay Thai visa around 50k and that includes all the fees for your 90 day check in. It’s the cheapest I found and the staff are great and come with you whenever you need to go immigration. Very efficient and good service.
