If you are unwell whilst away from home, you can receive emergency treatment from a local GP practice for 14 days. If you need an appointment after 14 days, you will need to register as a temporary patient. You will need to be staying in our catchment area to use our emergency and temporary services.

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 surgery. If you will need treatment for longer then three months, you will have to permanently register with the practice. You can re-register with your previous GP surgery when you return home.

To register as a temporary patient if an emergency appointment is required, please speak to our reception team. If we can offer an appointment, you will need to attend the practice to complete a temporary patient registration form. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

If you are unable to have an appointment in surgery, you may be advised to attend a local Urgent Care Centre or contact 111.
