Useful Resources for Refugees/Asylum Seekers

Students returning from University

Please be aware if you have registered with another practice (including an on campus GP surgery) and need to see one of our practitioners during holiday breaks you will need to complete an NHS Temporary Services Form before being offered an appointment.

If you have completed your course and are returning to the practice area permanently you will need to re-register with our surgery, providing proof of identification and address as per the instructions above for New patients.

Temporary Registration

If you are visiting from out of area and staying locally and need medical care from a GP we ask that, in the first instance, you contact your own GP to see if they can resolve the issue for you. If they cannot provide treatment/medication over the phone we advise you to visit the Urgent Treatment Centre, based at Lewes Victoria Hospital or seek advice from one of our many local pharmacies.

You may also wish to use 111.nhs.uk/ or call 111 to help manage any minor medical problems.

If your issues cannot be resolved in these ways you may call our reception team to seek an appointment.  You will be asked to complete an NHS Temporary Services Form before being offered an appointment.

You will need to forward your completed form to sxicb-esx.foundryhealthcarelewes@nhs.net

You will be registered as a temporary patient for a minimum of 14 days, up to a maximum of 3 months. The service allows you to remain registered at your own practice whilst receiving temporary care with us for that time. If you require care for longer than this time you will need to re-register.

Note: You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

GP Practices do not have to accept temporary patients, although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment.
