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.

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.

Information for Overseas Visitors

As per Government Guidelines, overseas visitors will likely be charged as per the rate displayed in reception for private appointments. A copy of the full guidelines is available to read at reception.

These rules are rather complex, although a lot more lenient than many other countries. If in any doubt, expect to be charged.

In the main, to get free NHS treatment, you need to fulfil one of the following:

  • Have a life/death, emergency that was not due to a pre-existing condition
  • Be ordinarily and legally resident – usually this means you’ve been in the UK, working legally (with a visa) for more than 6 months

Free treatment does not depend on a British passport, national insurance, tax, colour or language.

Your Named GP

We assign all new and existing patients with a named accountable GP to oversee their care.

For patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP is responsible for:

  • Working with health and social care professionals to deliver a care package that meets the needs of the patient
  • Ensuring that these patients have access to a health check

Patients can still choose to see any GP in the surgery. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate their preference.

If you have a preference or want to know who your named GP is, you can contact us for more information.
