Address Change - Change HA/Same GP (Non-Registration Links)

The patient has moved address, over the boundary to another TP/HB/CSA, but is staying with the same GP at the practice.

If the practice is non-Registration Links:.

1. Select the patient.
2. Select the Registration - Registration Details screen tab.
3. If the patient is moving to another Health Authority, click on the Change TP button to display the Registration - TP Change screen.

   

4. New Agency - Display a list of Health Authorities (Strategic Health Authorities) and select the new HA. The new Health Authority must be one of the practice HAs added in File Maintenance - Organisation with which you usually have registered patients.
5. In the Reason box, and for England & Wales practices only, select New HA/HB/CSA / Same GP. The patient is moving address within the practice area to a new HA, but is staying registered with the same GP. This indicates the GP is willing to keep the patient. Note that in Scotland there is no New Health Board / Same GP deduction reason.

   The Date Transferred defaults to today.

6. Click on OK.

That would usually complete this action, but if the patient is changing status for any other reason:

1. Click on the Change Status button, to display the Change of Registration Status screen.
2. Display the list of registration status and select Transferred out.
3. Enter a date when the patient removed from the list.
4. Select a reason why they transferred out.
5. Click on OK.
