Registering at this practice as an “out of area” patient. As you live outside the Practice area (catchment area), we are not required to provide you with home visits. You may, on occasion, develop an urgent illness or injury at home which means that attending the GP surgery as normal would not be appropriate. If you require a GP, please contact this practice in the first instance. If we determine you need access to services local to where you live, we may ask you to call NHS 111. 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. The local services will then decide if you can attend for an urgent face-to-face appointment with a healthcare professional, or if a home visit is needed, which will be based on your individual circumstances. If this is in the out-of-hours period when the surgery is normally closed between 8.30 and 18.30 am weekdays and during weekends – NHS 111 will direct you to the local out-of-hours provider.
