I'm not sure I've ever seen a flashing green light on any vehicle, doctor/ambulance or not. Everything seems to be blue only. Is this a regional thing?!

I've only seen green lights a couple of times in real life but I believe it's a nationwide thing. I think I first read about it in the highway code because I've known about green lights for doctors for a very long time. There's some interesting stuff, including about green lights, here: http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/blue-light-use/.

If you are really worried about the green light you could do this. Indicates a slow moving vehicle, great on a bike.
Certainly make you visible.

Super bright rear lights are horrible. Often come across someone with them in Regent's Park if I do a few laps on the way home. If I get stuck behind someone with one, I have to look away, or try harder to get past, or deliberately slow down to let them get some distance.

No doubt, but Regent's Park after work is not quite the same as riding a TT on a dual carriageway.
It also seems unlikely that even the most asleep driver would mistake a cyclist in front of him, flashing an occasional pale green light, for a medical responder behind showing a dark green flasher to persuade him to move over.
