Are You a Military Veteran?

If so are happy to have this recorded in your medical records?

A veteran is someone who has served in the armed forces for at least 1 day.

It is important for your continuing healthcare that you inform your GP if you have served. This will help them better understand any service related health conditions that you may have and ensure that you are referred, where appropriate, to dedicated services for ex-forces.

Please let reception know if you are happy to have this recorded.

Thank you

Temporary Registrations

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.
