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 the local GP practice for 28 days. After 28 days you will need to register as a permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient if you are staying with family who are registered with us. This will allow you to be on the local practice and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After 3 months your temporary registration will become inactive.
To register as a temporary patient, you will need to complete a Temporary Resident Form before requesting an appointment.
Please come to the surgery and fill the form before requesting an appointment. Home visits are not offered to temporary patients. We are not able to offer appointments to patients who are not registered with us(as permanent or temporary).
