Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a GP Practice but require medical advice, you can receive temporary treatment from the local GP practice for up to 3 months, by registering as a temporary patient. 

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. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
