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.

New Patient Health Checks
Once you have completed all the forms and your registration is made on the computer please make an appointment for your New Patient Health Check.
Call NMS at 020 7252 1817 or drop by Reception, whichever is most convenient.
Why do you need a Health Check? It’s important that you undergo a New Patient Health Check as we need to fully understand your past health history, your family’s health history, and what your current health issues might be. To ensure you receive great health care – and to ensure our team delivers exactly that – NMS needs to understand you and your health needs.
When you arrive for your appointment you will be asked to provide a urine sample. Next, you’ll meet with a NMS Clinician for your Health Check to review your health needs and history.
Some simple measurements like height, weight and blood pressure may be taken as well. This should last about 15-20 minutes. The New Patient Health Checks are different to NHS Health Checks which we also offer to all eligible Patients (aged 40-75 without any pre-existing cardiovascular conditions).
Once your Health Check is completed? You’ve joined the NMS family! Now you can fully access the many services on offer at the surgery – you can book that appointment you need, learn about smoking cessation, get travel advice, or even get involved with our New Mill Street Patient Participation Group (NMSPPG)!
