Is it possible to go to a different surgery than your usual. I go to a school that is nearer one which i wouldn't usually go to. Am i allowed to make an appointment here or not? Also to go to a clinic do you have to make an appointment?

And some times
but clinics don't normally require that, so you should just be able to walk in and be seen.
check with the reception though, to be sure.
However, many moons ago when I was back from uni for the summer and needed go to a doctor for TMAP (I didn't want to go to my parents one who has known me since I was born), I phoned up a local surgery only to be told that it would be unethical for me to go to see a doctor who wasn't my parents one. Thankfully after phoning round a couple of surgerys I finally found one who would take me.
Also I once got my boyfriend to book an appointment with for me with his doctor which worked quite well also.
you have to register with a practice, whichever one you feel happiest with, although most have a catchment area, and if you live outside this, you will not be accepted, and then stay there. Your practice holds all your medical records, and unless it is an emergency, or you go to a clinic, you won't be seen without your records.
apart from if you do this :
Has anyone been to the ones in France where they have like a price list? I find it really entertaining, like they'd have :
Colds- 20 Euros
Broken bones- 80 Euros
etc etc
The at the bottom of the lists it has:
Unknown:
150 Euros
That's really expensive!! You'd blatently go in and say you had a cold n let them decide if you were right or not.

In some places they have NHS walk in centres where you don't usually need an appointment.
I don't think you can go to a surgery in which you're not registered.
