2) After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
3) 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.
4) After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
5) To temporarily register, complete the Temporary Registration Form (online/ in practice) and bring it to reception with photo identification.
