What is a Temporary Resident?
A Temporary Resident is someone who temporarily resident away from their normal place of residence and is not being provided with essential services (or their equivalent) under any other arrangement in the locality where he or she is temporarily residing; or moving from place to place and not for the time being resident in any place. A person is regarded as temporarily resident in a place if, when the person arrives in that place, the person intends to stay there for more than 24 hours but not more than three months.
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.
Contractual Obligation
All patients are advised that Fochabers Medical Practice is not an NHS organisation; rather, and like almost all medical practices in Grampian, it is an independent contractor with a contract to NHS Grampian.
Leaving the list
You can leave the practice list at any time. This may be because you are moving away but you may wish to move to one of the other local practices. You do not have to tell us you are leaving but it would be nice of you to let us know. In very rare circumstances you may be removed from the list. This will only occur when we feel that the trust that must be present between you and the doctors no longer exists.
