If you are only going to be here for up to 3 months you can register as a temporary resident with a GP surgery. This can be helpful if you're living away from home but do not want to change your home GP surgery.

To register you'll need to fill out a temporary services form (GMS3), available from GP surgeries.

After 3 months, you'll have to reapply to register as a temporary resident or become a permanent patient.

You may also be able to register as a temporary resident if you are visiting from abroad.

If your application is refused, you can still receive any treatment you need immediately for up to 14 days.

If you wish to register as a temporary resident please do not register using the links below, you will need to go into one of our sites and fill in a temporary resident form.

When registering we would ask that you upload any immunisation history you may have from either your red book, from your previous surgery or any other documents, this also includes anyone moving from another country, as we do need to check that all immunisations are up to date. 

As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.

To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 9am to 5pm.

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
