165.0. " >DOCTOR WANTED" by URIAH::WOOD () Wed Jun 07 1989 10:17

    Can anyone recommend a Doctor in Basingstoke, not just any Doctor
    but one who would be prepared to see me today and issue a prescription
    right away.  I am new to the area and have left at home medication
    which is necessary but not essential to me. I really need a replacement
    today.

165.1LASHAM::PHILPOTT_ICol. Philpott is back in action...Wed Jun 07 1989 11:187
    Can't help directly (my doctor is 30 miles away), but
    
    if this were a US site I'd say "go see Health Services", and they'd
    ring a doctor for you. Here I'd suggest you find your friendly local
    First Aider...

165.2A chemist might be able to helpKERNEL::AUSTINWed Jun 07 1989 11:286
    It may be worth asking at a chenmists to see if the medication you
    need is available without a prescription , if not, the pharmacist
    might be able to give you better advice as how to get a prescription.
    Good Luck.

165.3LASHAM::NICHOLLSTo be or what...Wed Jun 07 1989 12:058
    The doctor I use, usually gives us an appointment the same day we need
    it.  - A VERY RARE OCCURENCE so I am told.  She has a small practice
    here in Basingstoke, and I'd like to keep it that way!.  If you want
    her number, give me a call. 
    
    Regards

    If it's really that serious and you just need a presciption and a
    chemist won't give you the stuff without presciption, I'd suggest just
    going to a health centre, explain the situation and see what they can
    do.  In my experience they can get you the prescription without you
    having to wait to see a doctor.

165.5I hate needles!!!CHEST::JENKINSSquidgy bits...Wed Jun 07 1989 15:0313
    
    
    Along the lines of previous questions....
    
    I need to have some vaccinations done to go on holiday - but as I live 
    near Reading, I don't want to take endless amounts of time off work.  
    So...is there a health centre around here that will do the injections for
    me without me joining a practice??
    
    Anyone got any ideas??

165.8Temporary Resident.COMICS::DRAYTONDid I really say that!!Wed Jun 07 1989 17:0212
    
    
    As I understand it (someone correct me if I'm wrong),
    you can normally walk into any doctors and register
    as a temporary resident. Whether or not you can see
    the Doctor straight away depends, I guess on how busy
    they are and how urgent your case is.
    
    I had to do this when I moved to Reading and got in
    straight away.

165.9Doctors in Kempshott?KERNEL::MORRISWhich universe did you dial?Thu Sep 10 1992 10:4410
    I and my family are moving to Kempshott in a couply of weeks and are
    looking for recommendations of doctors.  We have only a couple of
    criteria:
    
    		Must be good with young children (1 son, 12 months old)
    		Must be sympathetic (not "brusque and businesslike")
    
    Any suggestions?
