Should I see the Doctor or Nurse Practitioner?  Nurse Practitioners are highly trained specialist nurses who have completed further education and training so that they can provide advanced nursing care and prescribe medication.  They can provide treatment and advice for many of the problems that traditionally you saw your Dr about in the past.  If you are unsure if they can deal with your problem please ask at Reception.

Temporary Residents

If you become unwell whilst away from home or if you are not registered with a local GP Practice and need to see one, you can receive treatment from a local GP Practice for up to 3 months. To do this you must register as a Temporary Patient with the Practice.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to 3 months. This will allow you to be on our practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP.  

Please note you cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
