Temporary services
You can register as a temporary patient with a GP in England if you are in an area for more than 24 hours but less than three months. This allows you to receive treatment without cancelling your registration with your permanent GP. You must complete a GMS3 form at the local practice.
Key information on temporary GP registration
- Eligibility: Anyone in the area for over 24 hours up to three months (e.g., visiting family, on holiday) can register.
- Registration Process: Contact a local GP surgery and ask to fill out a temporary resident form (GMS3).
- Duration: Temporary registration lasts up to 3 months, after which you must re-register or register permanently.
- Limitations: Practices are not obliged to accept temporary patients, though they must provide emergency treatment for 14 days if needed. If a practice cannot take you as a temporary patient, you can still receive "immediately necessary" treatment for up to 14 days.
- Out of Area: If you are within a 50 mile radius of your permanent GP, you are expected to use them, unless it is an emergency.
Your named GP
All existing patients have been allocated a named accountable GP. In most cases this is your currently registered GP except where you may already have asked for this to be changed.
All new patients registering after 1 April 2015 will be allocated a named accountable GP within 21 days of registration.
Where any patient expresses a preference as to which GP they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request. Where any patient has confirmed they do not want a named accountable GP and we have recorded this in their patient record, the requirement to allocate a named accountable GP does not apply.
The patient’s named GP will take lead responsibility for the care and support provided by the practice. This however does not require or prevent you from seeing any GP.
In addition, for patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP will also work with relevant associated health and social care professionals to deliver a multi-disciplinary care package that meets the needs of the patient
