Temporary/Emergency Registration

You can receive emergency treatment for up to 14days if you become unwell whilst away from your permanent residency. 

If you are going to be in the area for more than 24hrs but less than 3months you can register as a temporary resident at a local GP practice

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/emergency patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
