Summary Care Record

There is a National Programme to create a Summary Care Record (SCR).  This allows the practice to share some of your details with other healthcare providers such as the Out of Hours Service and Hospitals.  The information is confirmation of where you live, contact details as well as any allergies you may have.

You can choose to have additional information included in your Summary Care Record, for this to happen you need to fill in the consent form below.

If you do not wish to have a Summary Care Record please fill in the opt-out form below.

Temporary Registration

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.
