Temporary services
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 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 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 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.
Accountable GP
When you are registered with our surgery, you will be be appointed an accountable GP, also known as your Usual GP. This is the GP that will appear on your medical records. It is assigned at random and you do not need to see that GP when you want an appointment. If you would like to change your accountable GP, please speak to reception and we will change it on request.
