Is it against the law in england to use a false name when visiting the doctor?

using a false name is only an offence if you are commiting a fraudelent act. If you dont want to know the doctor to know your name providing no other criminal act is being hidden because of that you are not breaking the law.





In terms of perscriptions I found out recently if you go to casualty they give you free perscriptions. They just gave me some medicine and never asked me for money.Is it against the law in england to use a false name when visiting the doctor?
No but you probably shouldnt be in the country if you have to lie about your identityIs it against the law in england to use a false name when visiting the doctor?
It's against the law everywhere to use false names.
Yes, you would be defrauding the NHS.
why would you want to do this?!!





I don't think so, but if you want to avoid paying prescription fee's (because you know someone on benefits whose name you will use) then probably, yes
yes it is against the law....why would you wanna do that?
don't you need to give your address and NHS number when registering at a doctors ? Therefore you'd be found out
yes-it's a criminal offence-it's called obtaining goods by deception, even though the doctor might not refuse to serve you if you had a serious condition.
why would you want to? every thing you say is confidential.





plus they need your real name to access your medical records for safety reasons.
well the doctor will have your medical records so they will know your real name...why would you want to do this anyway.
Yes. Every medical event in your life must be documented, as this could save your life in the future.





Besides, if you give a false name, the doctor will know, as they check the records of every patient before you see them. If they can't find your name, and you can't supply a valid reason, they will not see you.
Yes of course it is..say they picked up the wrong notes and treated you for something different or you have something catching, they will never find you.
im afraid so it is
Yep. What if you suddenly fall dead or something? I think they need to check your medical records if that(or somethin worse) happens.
No just stupid, you will get the wrong record and the wrong treatment.
yes it is against the that is taking another person identity
