TEMPORARY REGISTRATIONS
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can register as a Temporary Resident.
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 still remain a patient of your permanent GP.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they 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.
Please note you do currently need to be within the practice boundary to register as a temporary resident.
