Practice Area

Named GP

Since the 1st of April 2015 practices have been required under the terms of the latest GP contracts to allocate all patients a named GP.

This is purely an administrative exercise in order that patients can have a named responsible GP should they require them.

If you wish to be told your accountable GP please ask the receptionist when you next visit the surgery.

Please note: there is NO need to telephone the practice for this information as this will cause difficulties for patients who need to contact the surgery.

Having a named GP does not prevent you from seeing any of the GPs within the practice as your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you may need to discuss them with an alternative doctor.

Temporary Patient 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.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Open the leaflets in one of the following languages:
