Catchment Area

We welcome new patients who live within our practice area to register with us. Please view the practice boundary above.

Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery. It’s free to register. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

GP surgeries are usually the first contact if you have a health problem. They can treat many conditions and give health advice. They can also refer you to other NHS services. You do not need proof of ID to register with a GP, but it might help if you have one or more of the following:

Passport | Birth certificate | HC2 certificate | Rough sleepers’ identity badge | Hostel or Accommodation registration |Mail forwarding letter

If you’re homeless, you can give a temporary address, such as a friend’s address, a day centre or the GP surgery address.

Please note: You will be asked to upload the ID proof in case you request online access to medical records.

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

From January 2017 if you live or move outside of the practice area we may decide that it is not in your best interests or practical for you to be registered at Meon Medical Centre. If your health needs change and you require more input from the health services we would advise that you should seek to register with a more local practice.
If you have been registered with us prior to January 2017 as an ‘Out of Area’ patient we are currently reviewing your registration to see if it would be more appropriate for you to be registered with a GP practice closer to your home.
