Please note registration can take around 45 minutes, as we ask for a range of health information from you - so we recommend starting the process when you have the time and space to do so.

Temporary residents.

 

If you are not registered with a GP but need to see one, you can get emergency treatment at any GP surgery.

If you need treatment for more than 14 days, you will need to register with that GP surgery as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can register as a temporary resident if you plan to live near the GP surgery for up to 3 months. After 3 months you will have to apply to register with that surgery as a permanent resident.

You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You’ll remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.

If you move out of the Practice area, you will need to register with a new Practice as soon as you move. If you need help finding a new Practice, contact the local NHS Health Board.

What information do I need?

Try to have the following information with you when you see a temporary GP for the first time:

  • details of any medical conditions you have

  • details of medical conditions you’ve had in the past

  • the name of any medicines you’re currently taking

  • details of anything you’re allergic to

  • contact details for your permanent or previous GP surgery

  • your NHS number

You’ll also need to complete a Temporary Resident Form (GMS3). You can download this by using the button below.

Your Named GP.

 

Every patient has a named GP. This doctor has an important role to play in your healthcare. Some patients will already be aware of their named GP but if you would like to know, please just ask at reception or the next time that you call us.

Very little will change with your direct care. Your Named GP does NOT have to be the doctor you see most recently, and you should continue to book appointments as usual.

The Named GP is designed to reassure patients there is a doctor to provide an oversight into your care. The responsibilities of your named GP will be to:

  • Take the lead responsibility for ensuring that the surgery provides all the appropriate services you need

  • Ensure health and social care professionals deliver a care package that meets your needs.

  • Ensure your physical and psychological needs are recognised and responded to by the relevant clinicians in the practice

  • Ensure you have access to a health check if requested.

 It does NOT mean the named GP:

  • Takes responsibility for the work of other doctors or health professionals. If you have concerns, you must raise it with them in the first instance.

  • Is available other than at their normal working hours

  • Is personally available throughout the working week

  • Be the only GP or clinician who will provide care to you

It does NOT mean that you can insist on appointment with your named GP unless one is available in the normal way.

You must continue to book appointments with the practice in the same way. If you require an appointment with a GP urgently and are unable to book it with your ‘named GP’ please book in with another available doctor.
