Services
All patients will be allocated a named responsible GP to oversee their care and this can be checked with a member of staff.
Patients may approach any GP Practice, even if they live outside the practice area, to see if they will be accepting on to the patient list.
GP practices have always had the ability to accept patients who live outside their practice area.
Regardless of distance from the practice, the practice would still provide a home visit if clinically necessary.
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.

Increasingly, patient medical data is shared e.g. between GP surgeries and District Nursing, in order to give clinicians access to the most up to date information when attending patients.
The systems we operate require that any sharing of medical information is consented to by patients beforehand.
Patients must consent to sharing of the data held by a health provider out to other health providers and must also consent to which of the other providers can access their data.
In this case, patients would allow the surgery to share their data, they would allow the district nurses to access it but they would not allow access by the podiatry department.
