Temporary Residents

If you require access to primary medical services whilst away from home, including emergency and immediately necessary care you would need to register with the practice as a Temporary Resident.

Patients who are visiting the area or who return for a short period, for example to stay with family members, can register temporarily with us for up to 3 months.

After 3 months, the patient must either register permanently with us or their care reverts to their home GP practice. We will forward the details of any care provided to the home GP practice to be included in the patient’s medical record.

This means that while registered temporarily with us we can provide healthcare services but we have no access to the patient’s full medical record as it remains with their home GP practice.

To register as a temporary resident please contact either the Gairloch or Aultbea Surgery or complete the following form – Temporary Resident Registration

To access our services, including to make an appointment, please telephone or visit your local surgery. When we are closed the out of hours duty clinician can be contacted by first speaking to NHS24 by dialling 111.
