Usual doctor

All patients are given a named GP. This GP is responsible for your overall care at the practice. They are referred to as your ‘usual doctor’.

You will be informed of your usual doctor when you register. You can check who your usual doctor is with any member of staff. We urge you to see your usual doctor where possible. This is so we can offer you better continuity of care. If they are fully booked, you can ask for another doctor.

If you wish to change your usual GP, please contact the practice. If you have a preference as to which GP you would prefer, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request.

Temporary registration

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 local 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.
