Registering with a GP

Access to NHS for mission partners during their stays in England

Anyone, regardless of their country of residence, is entitled to receive NHS primary medical services at a GP practice. This means tourists, or those from abroad visiting friends or family in England, should be treated in the same way as a UK resident. It also means GP practices cannot charge for this. “The main principle is that anyone, regardless of nationality and residential status, may register and consult with a GP without charge”.

This resource gives you practical hints and tips to ensure your registration (or re-registration) with a GP goes smoothly.
