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 have a Named GP or “Usual Doctor” If you are not sure who that is please ask at Reception. If you wish to change your named GP, please let us know.
Your Named GP is the one who will review your medication, oversee the management of any long term conditions you may have and reviews your Hospital discharge letters etc.
It doesn’t prevent you from seeing another GP (especially if you need to come at short notice and your named GP is full) as he/she will liaise with your named GP regarding any care they give you.
