Yes. If you move to a new practice, a new GP code will be issued to you as part of the Performers List change notification process. Please do not use your old GP code once you move to a new practice, as this would result in new patient registrations being assigned to your previous practice, and the patient’s medical records would be sent to your previous practice.
When a GP updates their employment details on PCSE Online, PCSE will send the performer a change notification confirmation letter which includes their prescribing number, G referral code, and their local code. If you require these codes for performers in your practice, please ask them for a copy of this letter.
