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.

Your Named GP

All Patients registered with the surgery will have been allocated a named accountable GP who will be responsible for your overall care. However, you can book appointments with any of the GPs at the surgery. If you have a preference to which GP you are allocated, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests. If you wish to know which GP has been allocated to you, please ask reception at your next visit.

You and Your General Practice - A NHS Guide

We know that getting the right help from your GP practice can sometimes feel a little confusing. That’s why we wanted to share a new guide from the NHS called ‘You and Your General Practice’.

This guide is a great way to understand what you can expect from us and how you can get the most from the NHS. It has lots of helpful information, including:

  • When and how you can contact your general practice.
  • What happens when you contact your practice to request an appointment.
  • What if the practice is closed.
  • How to give feedback or raise concerns.
