New GMS1 patient registration form

All practices should by now have received new GMS1 forms for use from October 2017 onwards; practices should not continue to use old GMS1 forms, and the new forms should be signed, by all registering patients, or on their behalf.

The new form was agreed as part of the 2017/18 GP Contract Agreement, and newly registering patients have the opportunity to self-declare; by answering a series of supplementary questions, and ticking the relevant box, if they hold one of the following:

A non-UK European Health Insurance Form [EHIC]

A Provisional Replacement Certificate [PRC], which is a temporary replacement if an EHIC is mislaid whilst abroad

An S1 form which is available to those in receipt of a UK old age pension who live abroad, providing entitlement to state health care

Practices received an additional supplement paid into the Global Sum or [Global Sum Equivalent for PMS practices] for 2017/18 to cover the administrative costs associated with this process.

Attached is the Guidance letter sent out by the LMC.
