Temporary Residents

Please remember that your regular doctor has access to your notes, ongoing medications and treatment and is therefore best placed to look after your healthcare needs.  If your  doctor is unable to help and you are ill while away from home you can receive urgent treatment from the surgery if you are temporarily staying within our catchment area – to check please click here to enter the postcode.

As a temporary patient we do not offer routine referrals for healthcare problems.

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.

You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
