Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

If you are in England for a short visit but need to see a GP, you can register as a temporary patient with a local doctor. You need to be in the area for more than 24 hours but less than three months. Again, it is up to the GP practice to decide whether or not they will accept new patients. Treatment will be free of charge, but please ensure you present your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if you have one.

For more details please see the NHS choices page here.

Temporary Residents

If you are a UK resident, staying in the area temporarily (including university students who have come home for holidays) we will be able to see you if you fall ill as an emergency for something that can not wait until you return to your usual GP . You will need to speak to reception. Come to the surgery well in advance of the appointment time. You will need to sign a form to register you as a temporary patient. 

Our role is to help in an emergency ; we do not give second opinions, advise on routine matters and we are unable to do routine referrals. These should be discussed with the GP you are registered with.
