within the latest configuration of the partnership, and remove the specified partnership 

code from the screen. The individual GP codes can then be amended if necessary. 

The remaining fields can contain the local codes of up to 24 individual GPs who belong 

to the Practice. 

Either

 GP codes 

or 

a partnership code can be entered: you cannot enter 

both together. 

Enter the codes of 

all

 the GPs who will be within this Practice with effect from the start 

date you have just entered. Note that, even if you are only adding one GP to a Practice 

which already contains several members, you must still enter the codes of 

all 

the GPs 

who are remaining in the Practice as well as the code of the new GP. Any previous 

members whose codes are not entered will not be included in the new Practice 

composition. 

 The GPs whose codes are entered on this screen must not belong to any other Practice as 

of the Start Date you have specified. A GP can 

only 

belong to 

one

 Practice at any one 

time. 

It is possible to  merge in  the complete make up of one or more other Practices by 

entering all the GP codes from within those Practices. This will have the effect of 

 ending  the most recent configuration of those other Practices, thereby making them 

read only. 

Middle Part of the Screen 

The middle section of the Existing Practice Composition screen allows you to view 

and/or amend the current composition of the Practice, and the start date when that 

composition commenced. Only users with FULL access rights to the PC screen can 

make changes to the Practice composition. 

NOTE

This part of the screen should only be used to amend the Practice composition if 

a mistake was made when it was originally entered. 

If the actual GP composition of a Practice changes, amendments should be made 

using the top half of the screen, as described above. This will allow a full audit 

history of the Practice's composition to be maintained. 

The audit history of the Practice can be viewed on the bottom part of this screen 

page and on subsequent pages, as described below.

Action 

Enter either `A' to amend the current composition, or `D' to delete it. 

Entering an action code of `A' allows you to amend the Start Date and/or GP codes for 

the current composition of this Practice. If the start date is amended, the new start date 

must be after the start dates of all previous compositions of the Practice. 

If you enter an action code of `D', the current Practice composition will be deleted. The 

Practice will then revert to its previous composition and start date (if any). The system 

will prevent you from deleting the current practice composition if the previous 

composition for this Practice includes a GP who is now a part of another Practice. 

If the composition you are trying to delete is the result of  merging  one or more 

Practices, then this will not be possible if the composition of any of those other Practices 

has changed since the merge. If the composition of the other Practices has not changed,
