What is 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 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 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.

What if I live outside the practice area?

New rules mean that we can register patients who do not live within our practice area, however this is decided on a case by case basis. Requests can be rejected, with patients directed to a more local GP surgery.

If accepted as an Our of Area patient, you will have access to all the services we provide to patients in our area, however, we will not be able to provide you with home visits.

If you become too ill for the practice to help you over the phone or attend the surgery, please call NHS 111. The NHS 111 service will be able to tell you about access to local services or, where necessary, arrange a home visit.
