New GMS1 form - use now
All practices should have received new GMS1 forms to use from this month onwards.
The new forms include supplementary questions to be completed by overseas visitors who hold either a non-UK issued European Health Insurance Form (EHIC), a Provisional Replacement Certificate [PRC] (which is a temporary replacement for a mislaid EHIC), or an S1 form (available to those in receipt of a UK old age State pension but living abroad).
Practice team members are not responsible for trying to identify overseas visitors or checking the accuracy of completed forms. Information on overseas visitors and the NHS is available on the gov.uk website.
Under the 2017/18 GP Contract Agreement, practices must, on approximately a weekly basis, for those patients who self-declare they hold a non-UK EHIC, PRC or S1:
- enter this information into the medical record
- send a copy of the completed GMS1 form to either NHS Digital (EHIC or PRC) or DWP (S1)
Practices have been given a Global Sum uplift to fund this additional administrative work.
If your practice uses a web based registration process or a bespoke application form, if these are updated to include the new questions and guidance, you can continue to use this approach.
