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.

If you require emergency necessary treatment please contact the Practice on (01305) 774466.

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.

Further Information on Temporary Registration

Run Out Of Medication And Away From Home

If you have run out of your repeat medication whilst, on holiday in our town, you do not need to register as a temporary resident.

Please contact your own GP practice who can send your repeat medication electronically to a local pharmacy (you will need to know the name and address of the chosen pharmacy).

Your Named GP

All patients have a named GP. This means that your care will be managed by this GP and that your appointments will be with them to provide the continuity of care that our patients tell us they need.

If, however you find that your needs are not being met then you may choose to request a different GP. Please put your request in writing or speak to reception, advising who you wish to move to and why.
