Our policy is that all patients registering with the practice must attend a routine medical check up with the practice and if taking medicine or undergoing any treatment must see the doctor as well. These checks should be done within three months of registering the practice. You may not be registered at the practice if you do not attend this health check.

We expect all patients undergoing treatment to have regular checks thereafter.

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 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.
