Explain a visiting provider moving to another venue

A visiting provider leaves the host practice but continues elsewhere. Patients who know the old building may keep using its phone number and arrival instructions.

What to change

State the verified administrative position and distinguish the host's role from the provider's new arrangements. Publish external details only after confirming they are intended for patient use.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A host practice says the independent provider no longer runs appointments at its premises and points patients to the provider's current public contact information. It does not transfer patients or records merely by changing a webpage.

How to check the result

Visitors know which organisation can confirm future arrangements and avoid travelling to the old venue.

A mistake to avoid

Do not infer a new address or promise continuity arrangements that the provider has not confirmed.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
