Out Of Area Registration

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 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 is voluntary for GP practices meaning patients may be refused because they live out of area.

If your application is considered the GP 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

If accepted, you will attend the practice and receive the full range of services provides as normal at the surgery. If you have an urgent care need and the surgery cannot help you at home we may 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).

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

If accepted but if 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.
