I just don't bother trying doctor for that shit any more. I just use an online paid service. Cost me about £60 last time I did it, but easy life.
https://www.sportsmedicalcertificates.comNow I have an online GP service through (my wife's) work. I intend to use them for my TCR cert. I think that they do pay as you go for £50.
http://www.babylonhealth.comI really don't know how I would go about making an appointment to actually see a doctor nowadays.
Trying to get a doctor to sign a "hippy won't die" note for an audax.
"You can't call to book, you need to book online"
"I've never booked online and my missus did this already and didn't book online"
"Oh, well, you have to book a phone appointment before you can book a walk-in"
books appointment
Doctor emails: "I can't sign that form. I don't understand sports doctoring you'll need to speak to another doctor"
emails again to book appointment with other doctor
"You can't email to book, you need to call at 8am and this doctor is only in 2 days a week and we're booked 4 weeks in advance*
Email "Can I book after 4 weeks?"
"Yes we can book in 4weeks, please call us to book an appointment as are unable to do this via email."
