    At your Surgery do you have other Partners or salaried GPs ?

    Go on NHS Choices and follow the instructions on your screan, to get your Practice. Check the doctors against their Specialities and go and see the one who has the greatest knowledge of your type or problem.

    My Surgery does that now, they refer their patients into the PRACTICE SPECIALIST of that type or condition. A second opinion may help you

    Good Luck
