Thinking of registering with Park Surgery but live outside our catchment area?
Practices can choose whether to register patients who live outside their practice boundary. If we do accept an out-of-area registration, it is without home visits and some urgent in-person care.
Before you start, please read the important points below so you can decide if this is right for you.
Important things to consider Depending on where you live, you may experience:
- Difficulties arranging or coordinating referrals to specialist/consultant services in your local area.
- Delays where blood tests and other investigations done locally do not flow automatically to our system.
- Park Surgery clinicians (GPs, nurses, paramedics, physician associates) and district nurses will not be able to provide home visits to your address.
- Community services: We will discuss options and make referrals, but local community services may have access barriers for patients registered outside the area.
What this means for your care
- We will provide core GP services, but the limitations above may affect continuity and timeliness of your care.
- If your health needs change (for example, increasing need for home or community support), it may no longer be clinically appropriate or practical for you to remain registered out-of-area, and we may ask you to register with a local practice, in line with NHS contract rules.
Your alternatives
It is often safer and more practical to register with a GP surgery near where you live.
