Preparing for Relocation

Section 14 of the Circular states:

Where a GP Specialty Registrar makes a preliminary visit to the area of the traineeship in order to obtain accommodation actual expenses incurred on travel and subsistence (for up to 5 days) with the following modifications: -

(i) The night subsistence allowance shall not be paid for more than 4 nights.

(ii) The rate of subsistence for the GP Specialty Registrar's husband or wife and any children over 12 years of age shall be at two-thirds of the GP Specialty Registrar's rate and for any children aged 12 and under at half the GP Specialty Registrar's rate

This means you are entitled to claim for up to 5 days visiting an area with the purpose of obtaining a new property.

The Preliminary Visit Form must be completed and submitted alongside your relocation form to your placement board/practice.
