Safe Surgeries

Logo SS 2

We are proud to be a ‘Safe Surgery’ for everyone in our community.

All are welcome.

We are a part of Safe Surgeries and committed to tackling the barriers to healthcare faced by migrants.

Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality do not matter -reception won’t ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.

In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure that our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services.

Don’t have documents? Don’t worry, view this Poster.

If you wish to register, please speak to a member of staff who can help and support you with the process of registration. Ask reception for an interpreter if you find it difficult to communicate in English.

Our Clinical Team

In recognition of the barriers to healthcare access faced by people in vulnerable circumstances, including migrants, we commit to protecting the human right to health. We will take steps to ensure that everyone in our community may fulfill their entitlement to quality healthcare.

In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure that our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services.

Mindful of our duties to uphold equality and human rights law, we will implement patient registration policies which do not discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status or any other characteristic.

Supported by the Safe Surgeries initiative, we will ensure that our staff understand the specific barriers faced by migrants in vulnerable circumstances and that they are empowered to mitigate these barriers, where possible.

We will ensure that a lack of identification or proof of address, immigration status or language do not prevent patient registration.

As a member of the Safe Surgeries community, we will endeavour to support other Safe Surgeries and, where appropriate, provide feedback to Doctors of the World UK to support the development of the network.

Please note that NHS England only allows a patient to register with one practice. This means that you will be de-registered from your current GP practice if you are already registered with a GP Practice.
