Doctors of the World have produced an info sheet to inform people of their right to free GP care. It has been translated into Albanian, Bengali, Farsi, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Urdu.


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 don’t matter - reception should not ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.
