The right to register with two GPs for students studying away from home
Currently in the UK, you can only register to one GP (General Practitioner) at a time. People tend to register to the one nearest to their home address, but what if you're constantly going back and forth between two addresses? This is a problem students studying away from home have to face.
During each year of study, students receive 3 main holidays, this includes 3-4 weeks at Christmas and Easter and almost 3 months summer holiday. It is not uncommon to need health treatment during these periods, however, receiving the care needed can be a nightmare!
Not all GPs offer temporary registration, imagine the hassle of constantly having to re-register between two GPs. This also causes unnecessary inconvenience for GPs who constantly have to send patients files and data back and forth.
