    Sorry to hear that hope you are on the mend now? Anyone can change GP's, just look for another surgery in your area and as if they will take you as a patient.
    my advice is given freely and is correct to the best of my knowledge.

    Sorry to read that @Jonesy1! 
    Yes anyone can swap to a different practice. All you have to do is to register at another local practice. Make sure to check out some of the reviews about the practice first carefully however which you can do so online. Best of luck.
