Change of address

If you are moving house, please let us know as soon as possible. You will need to be in our catchment area to stay registered with our surgery.

Changing your name

You will need to show us proof that you have changed your name. This could be a marriage or civil partnership certificate, deed poll or birth certificate.

If you are away from home and need to see a GP, you can register as a temporary patient.

You can receive emergency treatment from a GP surgery for up to 14 days – for example, if you fall ill while on holiday. Please note there may be a charge for some overseas visitors.

If your treatment is likely to last longer than 14 days, you’ll be asked to register at the practice, either as a temporary or permanent resident.

You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from your main home for work, study or on holiday. This means you will remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.

You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

Once your treatment has finished and your temporary registration has expired, we will pass any treatment details on to your permanent GP surgery.

How do I register as a temporary patient?

If you are staying temporarily within the practice boundaries, you can either:

• Ask at reception for a temporary resident form
• download and complete a GMS3 form and bring it to reception

What information do I need?

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

• Your NHS number (Find your NHS Number)
• 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
