OUT OF AREA REGISTRATION

Please fill in the form at the bottom of this page in order to apply to be considered for out of area registration.

If your application is considered our practice will only register you without home visits if it is clinically appropriate and practical in your individual case. To do this we may:

• Ask you or your current practice you are currently registered with questions about your health to help decide whether to register you in this way
• Ask you questions about why it is practical for you to attend this practice

If accepted, you will attend the practice and receive the full range of services provided as normal at the surgery. If you have an urgent care need and the surgery cannot help you at home or via remote consultation, we may ask you to call NHS 111 and they will put you in touch with a local service to meet your needs.

We may decide that it is not in your best interests or practical for you to be registered in this way. In these circumstances we may offer you registration with home visits, for example, if you live just outside the practice area or we may not register you and advise you should seek to register (or remain registered) with a more local practice.

If accepted but your health needs change we may review your registration to see if it would be more appropriate for you to be registered with a GP practice closer to your home.

This new arrangement only applies to GP practices and patients who live in England.
