Doctors of the World - Advice Line

Doctors of the World UK is part of the international network Medecins du Monde. In the UK, we support people accessing healthcare through a dedicated national advice line.

The Advice Line can currently support with:

• GP registration (a family doctor)

• Information on rights to healthcare in the UK

• Filling out HC1 forms to help with the cost of prescriptions, dental care and glasses for those who are not working

• Getting help to see a midwife in a hospital to check the health of mother and baby

• Getting support to end a pregnancy

• Finding other useful services

• Information on rights to medical (NHS) primary, hospital and community healthcare care in the UK, and support/advice if someone is refused treatment or gets a bill for hospital or community care.

How to access:

People can self-refer by calling our advice line 080 164 7686 Tuesday to Thursday from 10am to midday (phone interpreters are available).
