You will then be asked to make an appointment with the practice nurse for a general health check (you should bring a sample of urine with you to this appointment).

Those accepted onto the practice list will be eligible to receive the following standards of service:

  • To make an appointment to see a doctor for treatment.
  • To express a preference to see a particular doctor for any treatment.
  • To make a request for an emergency appointment where necessary and you will be seen by whichever doctor is available on the day.
  • To make a same day appointment for children who are sick and need to be seen on the same day.

Temporary Services

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 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.

GP Registrars and Medical Students

We are a training practice, and you may be offered an appointment with a GP registrar. These doctors are fully qualified and will have had experience in several hospital specialties. They are completing their specialist training as a GP.

We also teach medical students and sometimes you may be asked to see the doctor or nurse with a student present.

You will always be asked beforehand if this is acceptable and you may ask for the student to withdraw if you prefer to have your consultation in private.
