HEALTH INTEGRATION TEAM - FINDING A DOCTOR

Finding a Doctor

Before you register, contact the GP surgery to confirm that is covers the address where you are living or staying temporarily. You can register with any GP in your local area as long as they have space for new patients. You can also get help by:
• Asking at the library
• Asking friends
• Asking your housing case worker
• Asking local organisations such as schools, mosques, temples and churches
• Looking on the NHS Choices website – www.nhs.uk
• Asking a support worker

What does it cost?

There is no charge to register with a GP in England. Once you are registered, there is also no charge to see your GP. If your GP decides to give you medicine, you will receive a prescription.
