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.
If you are away from home and visiting the area, please contact your own GP surgery or call 111 in the first instance. We are unable to register you as a temporary patient unless this step has been taken. Once done, you can register as a temporary patient with Chacewater Health Centre for up to three months. This will allow you to use our surgery while remaining a patient at your permanent GP surgery.
After three months, you will need to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with us.
You can register as a temporary patient at Chacewater Health Centre by visiting the surgery and speaking with our reception team.

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.

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
