@Gary ********
they don't always take you to a&e. They triage the caller and decide IF an ambulance is required. He's best to register with a GP and get treated appropriately.

@John *******
of course you're entitled if you have a NI number. I believe some non British people working in UK have to pay a fee to have access to NHS.

I was offered an appointment that way. It can work but you need to know how to explain symptoms well.

@Jamie ********
regardless of severity, my GP surgery does not offer appointments if you call them. It's the on line form that's several pages long. It can be difficult for some to explain what's wrong. It's then triaged, and if they decide what you've said needs an appointment then they call or email.

@Jamie ********
many GPS do not offer appointments made by phone call. Mine require a long form to be filled in and it's sent for a decision whether to see you.

Once you have an address in UK you should be able to register. Waiting times for referrals/ consultations can be lengthy.

@Mikkel ******
the OP didn't explain what type of extension. Mine was extending exempt entry by 30 days. Other extensions like based on retirement/marriage etc would be different perhaps.

@Mikkel ******
each immigration office has its own rules. Blue Tree only needed one. But I had 3 with me.

@Neil ********
what sort of extension are you asking about? A 30 day exempt entry extending for 30 days? Or are you asking about a 2 year extension based on "something else"
