All medical records will be transferred to your new GP surgery during the registration process. GP’s use GP2GP to transfer the digital medical records of patients.
When filling out the GMS1 form (also known as the NHS GP registration form), you will be asked about your previous GP details so your new GP surgery can identify you and your records quicker.
If you are foreign or you have been resident in any other country, you will need to request your GP records from your country of origin and provide them to your UK GP to be added to your medical records, as this process won’t be automatic between countries.
