Practice Placements


During the General Practice rotation of your training programme, expenses are available according to  Circular PSC(GPR)2011/1.

If you have not previously claimed in your current placement, you will need to complete the below setup process.

If you are a Foundation/BBT trainee in a Practice placement, please contact the Board where you are on placement who will be able to direct you to the correct forms for your employer.

All Authorisers within a Practice are required to complete an Authorisers Claim Form. This will allow NES to confirm authorisation of trainee claim forms when received.

 

All mileage claimants must complete a Certificate of Vehicle Use Form. This registers your Personal Vehicle with NES as being used to claim mileage expenses.

If your journey purpose is for business travel rather than commuting to your placement base, you will be required to evidence that you are insured for business use.

You will also need to submit the following information:-

Home Visits

Home Visits are considered business travel and as such you are required by law to have business insurance cover.

Any claims submitted to NES for dates that are not covered by the Insurance Certificate held will not be processed.

All claims should be submitted on a monthly basis using the Home Visit Claim Form. Please ensure your Practice Manager submits your claim forms through the NES Finance ServiceDesk.

Home to base mileage is capped at 20 miles total per day, 10 miles each way.

NES can only reimburse Home to Base Mileage on the days that the GPST has used their vehicle for business purposes.

Any claims that are submitted without Claimant's signature or Authorisers signature will be returned.  This could lead to a delay in payment of the claim.

 

Excess Daily Travel

Please note your Excess Daily Travel is calculated as a monthly allowance for the duration of your Placement.

EDT is considered traveling to work and not business travel, you are only required to have commuting insurance cover.

You will need to complete an Excess Daily Travel Form to confirm your additional daily commute.

Excess Daily Travel is usually paid in lieu of relocation and as such is limited to the £8000 cap.
