Once we have registered you, we will send you a text telling you the GP who is responsible for your care.  That text will also invite you to text back your preferences for the items below.  If you prefer, just email the information when you submit your forms, to nehfccg.registrations.downingst@nhs.net

1. Send us your photo ID so that we can link your new record to the NHS App.  You can use it to make appointments, order prescriptions, see blood results and view your medical record.
2. Tell us your preferred pharmacy where we will send your prescriptions.
3. Tell us if you want to opt out of sharing your information with other Healthcare services (if you do not tell us, we will share your basic information).  See Summary Care Record

Note that by sending the form you will be transmitting information about yourself across the Internet and although every effort is made to keep this information secure, no guarantee can be offered in this respect.

Temporary Registration

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 local 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.
