Steps

  1. Look for practices near your new address and ask whether they can accept you. Capacity and distance can affect acceptance.

  2. After the new practice accepts you, tell your previous GP and ask for transfer of your medical record. Ask the new practice which registration information it requires.

  3. If you cannot find a practice, ask your health insurer to help or mediate. For visitors or people without a regular GP, use the separate De Limes guidance when urgent care is needed.
