Temporary Residents

Want to register as a temporary resident? Learn more below.

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 us.

To register as a temporary patient simply click the button below and fill-out the form. We do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although we do have an obligation to give you emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
