What should I do if I fall ill when I’m away from home?
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can ask to be registered as a temporary patient at a nearby GP practice for up to three months. This process allows you to make use of a local practice but still remain a patient of your permanent GP practice at home. However, after three months, if you still wish to access this practice you will be required to permanently register.
If you wish to register with us as a temporary patient simply contact the practice directly.
The practice is open from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm on a Thursday.
*Please note that the surgery is closed on the second Thursday of every month from 1pm until 7.30 am the following day for staff training.
