Hello friends.
I am living in UK for seven months and I am still not used to NHS procedures. I often get confused about the roles played by my GP and my rheumy.
Therefore, I have a basic doubt and couldnt find an answer at the NHS websites:
I live in Lambeth, London and my GP surgery is a few blocks from my place. As I have SLE for 13 years and have been pretty sick one year ago, the first time I went to the GP, I got a referal to St Thomas Hospital. And since December, I have been seen at the Louise Coote Unit, St Thomas Hospital - which is also clore to where I live.
But I am considering moving to North London to stay closer to my Uni and I might find a GP near there. In this case, would I loose the right of being treated at St Thomas?
Thanks a lot.
