The LMC often receives queries about the correct procedures to follow in relation to the registration, removal and management of Out of Area Patients. Questions tend to focus on the obligations of practices with respect to home visits for such patients.
We have now produced an LMC Advice Sheet which summarises the provisions and the factors which practices need to take into account when deciding whether or not to register patients in this way. Practices also need to be aware of the need to follow the correct process to ensure that home visiting duties do not continue when a patient moves out of area but remains registered.
