How do i register with a doctor?

In the UK, family doctors are called General Practitioners “GPs”. A GP is the first doctor you will see when accessing healthcare. To receive medical treatment, you and your children must register with a GP as soon as possible, even if you are not ill. You need to find GPs that are near where you are living and can use this website to find one:

• In England www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/GP/LocationSearch/4.
• In Northern Ireland https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/gp-practices
• In Scotland https://www.nhsinform.scot/scotlands-service-directory/gp-practices
• In Wales http://www.wales.nhs.uk/ourservices/directory/postcodesearch?pc=CF11%208AZ&gp=1&dist=1

You will be asked to fill out a registration form and bring identification and proof of your address if you can. Please note ID (Identity Document) and proof of address is not necessary for registering with a GP. You should not be asked about your immigration status
