Non-registered patients
If you know someone in your household or a neighbour who is not registered with a local doctor, please encourage them to do so. If a person lives in the area for more than 3 months they should fully register with the practice, even if they have no immediate need for medical care.
Visitors staying for less than 3 months can register as temporary residents if they need medical care whilst they are in the area.
