Register with a GP

If you are not registered with a GP but need treatment at St Laurences Medical Centre, you will need to complete a temporary registration form.

The Reception Team will give you a Temporary services form GMS3 to complete or you can download the form here.

You can register as a temporary resident if you plan to live near the GP surgery for up to 3 months.

After 3 months you will have to apply to register with that surgery as a permanent resident.

You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You'll remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.

St Laurences Medical Centre will pass details of any treatment you have to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.

If your application to become a temporary patient is refused, you can still receive emergency treatment for up to 14 days.
