What a nightmare Scotty! I don't think our right to choose where we're treated has been taken away from us but you may need to go through your gp again to find out your options or contact the NHS hotline or PALS. It sounds like you should make a formal complaint if your hospital is as bad as you say. As far as I'm aware you have a right to choose, to complain, to ask for a second opinion, even to sue. Good luck. :-)
You can self present at any A&E if you can get there. An ambulance is only likely to take you to a local hospital and you wont have any say.
But if for instance you were visiting friends in the area of a particular hospital, or out and about for some reason, it would make sense to go to a hospital nearby other than the old familiar.
Of course if they dont know you, they wont have any notes.
