Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one and are staying within our practice boundary you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice. If your stay is going to be up to 3 months you can register as a "Temporary Resident" and if you are here for longer than 3 months you should complete a full registration form GMS1.

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. 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 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.
