Do I need anything before I apply?

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.
What is temporary registration?
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.
Can I register if I live outside the area?
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
