Arrange your own healthcare

How to find a local GP and prepare for continuity of care when moving to Powys.

Register with a GP

Find practices near your new home through NHS 111 Wales. Contact your chosen practice to check its catchment and whether it can register you, then follow its registration process.

Have your previous GP details and NHS number available if known. Ask the practice what information it needs, how your records will transfer and how to arrange any continuing care. If you have difficulty finding a practice, follow the support route in the NHS Wales GP registration guidance.

Local practice starting points

These practices serve the three featured towns. Inclusion does not confirm that your new address is in their catchment or that registration is available.

Medicines and ongoing appointments

Before moving, discuss continuity of prescribed medicines and any planned reviews with your existing healthcare team. Keep an up-to-date medicine list and details of outstanding appointments or investigations.

Find a convenient pharmacy and check its opening hours. For a dentist, use the NHS Wales directory and ask directly about NHS availability; a directory listing does not guarantee an appointment.

Finding the right service

Use NHS 111 Wales for current information about services and urgent-care options. This relocation guide is not a clinical advice or emergency service.
