Visitors to the Helston area

Information on accessing GP services when you are visiting the area:

Immediate and necessary

Patients should always contact their own practice first, even if they are visiting the area on holiday.

Your own practice can give you advice over the phone and send an electronic prescription to a local pharmacy if needed.

If your own practice say you are to see a local GP, contact the surgery (Link to contact us page please) and can receive care for up to 14 days. If any treatment is going to be beyond that time, you can register as a temporary resident
