Register via registration form:

If you are unable to register online for any reason, you can ask our reception team to provide you with a registration form. Please DO NOT POST forms. This causes delays with your registration. Once you complete either registration form, we will send you a questionnaire. We will process your registration when this is returned completed.

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.

These fact sheets explain the role of UK health services to asylum seekers. They cover issues such as the role of GPs and their function as gatekeepers to the health service. They also include how to register and how to access emergency services.
