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 from your GP practice.

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.

Complete this section if you live in another EEA country, or have moved to the UK to study or retire, or if you live in the UK but work in another EEA member state. Do not complete this section if you have an EHIC issued by the UK.

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.

If yes, please enter details from your EHIC or PRC below:

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.

A carer is a friend / family member who gives their time to support a person in their home, to an extent that the person could not remain at home if this care was not being provided. A carer can receive Carers Allowance (but not a wage) and the care they are giving will significantly affect their own life.

Summary Care Record (SCR)

As you are registering with this practice, we would like to recommend that you take advantage of the Summary Care Record (SCR). The Core SCR includes important information about your health: Medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines.

You can also choose to have additional information included in your SCR, which can improve the care you receive. This information includes: Your illnesses and health problems, operations and vaccinations you have had in the past, how you would like to be treated – such as where you would prefer to receive care; what support you might need and who should be contacted for more information about you.

You may need to be treated by health and care professionals outside of the practice who do not know your medical history. Having the additional information SCR can help the staff involved in your care access information more quickly, allowing them to make informed decisions about your healthcare. More information can be found by visiting www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk

Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG)

Whilst the SCR mentioned above shares a very small portion of your child’s medical record across the whole NHS, the MIG shares a much broader view of their records but only with local NHS providers – and only when you give explicit consent at the point of care.
