Temporary residents and students

If you are staying in our area for up to 3 months, for example visiting family, working here or home from university, you can register with us as a temporary resident. You stay registered with your usual GP.

How to register as a temporary resident

Ask at reception, or call us on 01460 67763. It helps to have:

• your usual GP practice's name and address

• your NHS number, if you know it (it is in the NHS App)

• the medicines you take

If you are staying for more than 3 months, you should register as a permanent patient.

Students

If you study away from home, register with a GP near your university or college. You can then see us as a temporary resident when you are home in the holidays.

Repeat medicines

If you have run out of a regular medicine, a pharmacy can often give you an emergency supply. You can also find a pharmacy or go to 111.nhs.uk.
