If you are only going to be here for up to 3 months you can register as a temporary resident with a GP surgery. This can be helpful if you're living away from home but do not want to change your home GP surgery.

You only need to register with the GP surgery if you need to be seen.

To register you'll need to fill out a temporary services form (GMS3), available from GP surgeries.

After 3 months, you'll have to reapply to register as a temporary resident or become a permanent patient.

You may also be able to register as a temporary resident if you are visiting from abroad.

If your application is refused, you can still receive any treatment you need immediately for up to 14 days.

If you wish to register as a temporary resident please do not register using the links below, you will need to go into one of our sites and fill in a temporary resident form.
