Students can therefore register as a temporary resident at another GP practice. Temporary residence applies where a person intends to be in an area for more than 24 hours but less than three months. Once registered, patients can receive treatment in the same way as other patients. Details of a patient’s treatment whilst at their temporary practice will be passed to their permanent practice.</p><p>In addition, anyone who requires treatment that a GP or healthcare professional regards as an emergency, or as immediately necessary, should be provided that treatment free of charge, regardless of whether they are registered with a GP or not.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 30/04/2019 13:47:01 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
