Temporary Patient Registrations
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.
Registering with a GP as a temporary resident – NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Details of any treatment you have will be passed to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.
Overseas Visitors
Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.
In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.
Find Your NHS Number
Sometimes when filling in online forms or speaking with our staff, you may be asked for your NHS number.
This online tool will help you find your number if you do not know it.
Please Note
You do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services, but it can be useful to have it.
Other ways to get your NHS number
If you cannot get your NHS number online you can:
- find it on any letter from the NHS like a prescription or appointment letter
- call your GP surgery and ask them for your number
Safe Surgery
ALRESFORD SURGERY IS PROUD TO BE A SAFE SURGERY FOR EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
In recognition of the barriers to healthcare access faced by people in vulnerable circumstances, including migrants, we commit to protecting the human right to health. We will take steps to ensure that everyone in our community may fulfil their entitlement to quality healthcare.
In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure that our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services.
Mindful of our duties to uphold equality and human rights law, we will implement patient registration policies which do not discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status or any other characteristic.
Supported by the Safe Surgeries initiative, we will ensure that our staff understand the specific barriers faced by migrants in vulnerable circumstances and that they are empowered to mitigate these barriers, where possible.
We will ensure that a lack of identification or proof of address, immigration status or language do not prevent patient registration.
As a member of the Safe Surgeries community, we will endeavour to support other Safe Surgeries and, where appropriate, provide feedback to Doctors of the World UK to support the development of the network.
