Temporary Registration

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 necessary medical treatment from any local GP practice.  You will need to register as a temporary patient with the practice.

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.

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 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.

If you require emergency necessary treatment please contact the Practice on 01278 411520.  Alternatively the Temporary Resident form (below)
