Further information

Information for Overseas Visitors

As per Government Guidelines HSC1999/018, overseas visitors will likely be charged as per the rate displayed in reception for private consultations. A copy of the full guidelines is available to read from reception.

These rules are rather complex, although a lot more lenient than many other countries. If in any doubt expect to be charged.

In the main, to get free NHS treatment you need to fulfill one of the following:

  • Have a life/death, emergency that was not due to a pre-existing condition
  • Be ordinarily and legally resident – usually this means you’ve been in the UK, working legally (with a visa) for more than 6 months

Free treatment does not depend on a British passport, national insurance, tax, colour or language.

Named GP

We assign all new and existing patients with a named accountable GP to oversee their care.

For patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP is responsible for:

  • Working with health and social care professionals to deliver a care package that meets the needs of the patient
  • Ensuring that these patients have access to a health check

Patients can still choose to see any GP in the surgery. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate their preference.

If you have a preference or want to know who your named GP is, you can contact us for more information.
