well I hope to register after I see the Doctor tomorrow to confirm it all. Do you just phone them to register or do I need to actually go in with a Doc's note?

Your Doctor should be able to send in a referral for you. Also, remember to ask your GP about combined care.

As soon as you have had docs visit ring your hospital of choice and book.
Most doctors just give you the referral letter to bring in yourself.
Earlier you book earlier you get your 1st appointment and scan.
