Temporary services
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 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.
Your named GP
Previously, Hanham Health Group has informed all of our patients over 75 of their named accountable GP. More recently, our contract with NHS England extended the requirement to provide a named accountable GP to all patients. The contract remains “practice-based”, so overall responsibility for patient care has not changed.
Having a named GP does not prevent you from seeing any other GP within the Practice, it just means that one GP has overall responsibility for the care and support (including all administration) that our practice provides to you. You can continue to see any GP that you choose. If you need to be seen in an emergency this may be with any one of our doctors working that day.
If you have a preference for your named GP please let us know in writing or by using the contact us page and we will make every effort to accommodate this request. The practice will always let you know any reasons if we are unable to action your change request.
We have been informing patients of their named GP when contact is made with the practice and to all those patients registered to receive SMS Text messages from us. Our reception team will be more than happy to help if you have any questions about this service or your named GP.
