Holiday visitors and temporary patient services
We are happy to see any relative or friend staying with you who requires medical treatment whilst away from home as a Temporary Resident.
When making an appointment to see a GP as a temporary resident you will be advised to attend 10 minutes early in order fill out a simple temporary registration form.
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.

When you register you will be allocated a "Named Acountable GP".
You are of course free to seen any GP in the practice that you choose to, although your GP of choice may not always be available at short notice.

Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP.
