Clinics A question about switching Clinics?

[SkintEastwood]

Is there anyone with any experience changing clinics that could please offer some advice? What is the best way to go about this without having a down period where you no longer have any access to MC. Do i sign up for another clinic first then inform my older clinic? I have tried looking for this information online but without much luck unless its from google AI.

Hey yes I've changed clinics

Basically as you say, sign up with the new one, and they usually will give you your first script whilst you are getting a discharge letter

In my case it overlapped comfortably with a bit to spare and there was no period I was left without

Basic advice, make sure you get through the MDT process at the new clinic before notifying your old one. If your new clinic are pushy for a discharge letter from the previous clinic, just explain you want to make sure you're accepted first (shouldn't be an issue). Basically this gives you the continual backup of staying where you are, if any goes wrong when trying to join the new clinic.
