What to do if you’re registering on behalf of someone else
If you are a carer of young children, elderly adults or adults who aren’t able to register themselves, you can set up an account on their behalf. This will allow you to book an appointment and access parts of their GP online services account.
Temporary patients
If you are away from home, you can register as a temporary patient with Dr Harbidge and Partners for up to three months. This will allow you to use our practice and still remain a patient at your permanent GP surgery. After three months, you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with us.
