New Patient Registration Form

Before you complete this form, please ensure you have to hand:

  2. Your NHS number
  3. Your Photo ID, such as a driving license, identity card or passport (if you have one)

OUT OF AREA REGISTRATION (without home visits)

Information for consideration prior to registration.

You have requested to register with our Practice as an ‘Out of Area’ patient. You live outside the practice boundary (catchment area) and we want to make you aware of what this means for you under this type of registration.

We may decide that it is not in your best interests or practical for you to be registered.

Please read the details below and give careful consideration to your request to register with our Practice. An important consideration you should make is that we are not required to provide you with a home visit.

You may on occasion, develop an urgent illness or injury at home that means attending our Practice would not be possible.

If you have an urgent care need we will ask you to call NHS 111 and they will put you in touch with a local service (this may be a face to face appointment with a local healthcare professional or a home visit where necessary).

In these circumstances NHS 111 will direct you to the local service that has been established by NHS England for patients such as you. This local service could be a GP practice near to where you live, the local walk-in or urgent care centre, A&E or minor injuries unit.

If this is in the out-of-hours period when GP surgeries are normally closed – between 6:30pm and 8:00am weekdays, bank holidays or weekends – NHS 111 will direct you to the local out-of-hours provider.

If your application is considered the 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 the 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 (for example, how many days during the week you would normally be able to attend)

If accepted, you will attend the Practice and receive the full range of services provided as normal other than home visits, you may not be able to access other certain services also such as

  • District Nurse Services
  • Mental Health Services
  • Social Care Services
  • Health Visiting Services

Also, if you are an out of area patient we will review your medical notes on a 3 monthly basis to ensure we are providing a safe clinical service that is tailored to your needs. If we feel that we cannot meet your health needs we will ask you to register at a GP closer to your home address and we will remove you from our list.

Supplementary Questions

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.

However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.

Some services, such as diagnostic tests of suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges.

More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available at reception. Alternatively for more information go to www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/visiting-or-moving-to-england

You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment.

The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.

I declare that the information I give on this form is correct and complete. I understand that if it is not correct, appropriate
action may be taken against me.

A parent/guardian should complete the form on behalf of a child under 16.

European Economic Area (EEA) Country

For a list of EEA countries visit: www.gov.uk/eu-eea

If you are visiting from another EEA country and do not hold a current EHIC (or Provisional Replacement Certificate (PRC))/S1, you may be billed for the cost of any treatment received outside of the GP practice, including at a hospital.

Please enter the details from your EHIC or PRC below.

S1 Form

Please give your S1 form to the practice staff.

How will your EHIC/PRC/S1 data be used?

By using your EHIC or PRC for NHS treatment costs your EHIC or PRC data and GP appointment data will be shared with NHS secondary care (hospitals) and NHS Digital solely for the purposes of cost recovery. Your clinical data will not be shared in the cost recovery process.

Your EHIC, PRC or S1 information will be shared with The Department for Work and Pensions for the purpose of recovering your NHS costs from your home country.

Book appointments and order repeat prescriptions online. 

You can book appointments at the practice, request repeat prescriptions for any medications you take regularly and view your medical record securely online using Patient Access.
