Temporary Registration

If you’re staying in our local area and become unwell, you may be able to register with us as a temporary patient.

You can register as a temporary patient if:

  • You’re staying nearby for work, study, or holiday and are ill or need medical care

  • You’re not currently registered with another nearby GP practice

  • You need to urgently see a GP, even if you’re not permanently registered anywhere

Please note

If you are already registered with a nearby GP practice, you cannot register with us temporarily.

How long does temporary registration last?

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to 3 months. During this time, you’ll remain registered with your usual GP surgery, but can access our services for urgent care.

After 3 months, you will need to either:

  • Re-register as a temporary patient, or

  • Choose to register permanently with us if you now live within our catchment area

Because there is no additional NHS funding for temporary patients, we prioritise services for our registered patients and only offer temporary care when it is clinically essential.

Medicines While on Holiday

Please do not try to register as a temporary patient to get medicines. We cannot give repeat prescriptions to temporary patients.

Contact your registered practice if you do not have enough of your medicine. Your registered practice will be able to send your prescription to a pharmacy of your choice. Please do this as soon as possible so that it doesn't become urgent. If you let your doctor know of your holiday before you go they can arrange for enough medicines in advance.

If you urgently need your medicine a local pharmacy may be able to offer an emergency supply. You will need proof of the medicine normally prescribed to you. Emergency supply is a private service, and you will have to pay for the medicine supplied.

You can also use NHS 111 to request an emergency supply of medicine you have completely run out of.

Named Accountable GP

All our patients have a named GP who handles their care. This is a practice-based arrangement, meaning overall responsibility for your care remains with the practice team as a whole.

You do not have to see your named GP for appointments. You are welcome to book with any GP or nurse within the practice team, depending on your needs and preferences.

Please contact the practice if you wish to know who your named GP.
