If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from our practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact us.
Please note that we will only accept you as a temporary patient if you are staying with a patient who is registered on our permanent list. If the person you are staying with is registered at another practice, please contact that surgery.
We do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although we do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment.
You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
