Prior to booking a new registration appointment please bring in the following current documents:
- One recent utility bill (which may include the current year’s council tax, electricity, water or gas)
- Or a letter from your landlord or Housing Department to confirm your residency
Failure to provide documentation may result in the refusal of your registration.
You can only see the doctor once this registration process has been completed.
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.
