To join the surgery, you usually have to live within our practice boundary.
Check the practice boundary to find out if you can register.

Contact the surgery if you’re not sure if you’re eligible.
Find your NHS Number

The registration form will ask you for your NHS number, which consists of 10 digits. You can find it on a prescription, an appointment letter, or using the Find your NHS number online service.

Ensure you have enough medication

You should ensure you have at least one month’s supply of your medication. It can take around a month to transfer your records from your old GP practice. During this time, you may not be able to renew your prescriptions.
If you are staying in the area for less than 3 months, you may be able to register as a temporary patient.

Contact the surgery to find out if you can register.
Sunny Meed Surgery may be able to register you as a patient even if you live outside our usual catchment area.

This can be helpful if you work or study near the practice, but please remember that you must be able to attend face‑to‑face appointments whenever needed.

However, Out of Area Registration is not suitable for everyone. For example, we may not be able to register you if:
  • you need regular home visits (we cannot provide home visits outside our catchment area)
  • you currently receive, or may need, local services linked to your home address, such as:
    • health visiting services for newborn babies
    • community mental health services
    • other location‑dependent support
