Out of Area Registrations

New arrangements introduced from January 2015 give people greater choice when choosing a GP practice. Patients may approach any GP practice, even if they live outside the practice area, to see if they will be accepted on to the patient list.

The new arrangements mean that GP practices now have the option to register patients who live outside the practice area but without any obligation to provide home visits. Out of area registration remains voluntary for GP practices meaning that patients may be refused because they live outside the practice area.

Your application, which requires that you complete the registration form provided, will be reviewed by a clinician in the practice.

The purpose of the review is to establish whether it is clinically appropriate and practical, in your individual case, to be registered without access to home visits. If it is not possible to reach a decision from the initial information provided the clinician may:

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

If you are accepted you will be able to attend the practice and, other than home visits, you will receive the full range of services provided as normal at the surgery. If you require referral to other services we will agree with you whether these are best carried out close to your home or the practice depending on the circumstances.

If you have an urgent care need and the surgery cannot help you at home we may ask you to contact NHS 111 and they will put you in touch with a local service.

We may decide that it is not in your best interests or practical for you to be registered in this way. If this is the case we will let you know within two weeks and your registration will not progress any further.

If your registration is accepted but your health needs change in the future we may review your registration and invite you to register with a GP practice closer to your home.

If you wish to proceed with your application please complete the form below. As soon as we have this information a decision can be made.
