If YES, then as well as proof of residence within the boundaries shown on map we will need the following:

• confirmation of your Name and Date of Birth e.g. by showing us your driving license or passport.
• if you wish to received free NHS treatment, you will need to prove that you are "Ordinarily Resident" in the UK (see note below)

Such proof may be in the form of letters from a university or college, a contract of employment or some alternative proof of UK residence.

NOTE: you are deemed to be "Ordinarily Resident" if you have been living in the UK for more than 12 months or are living here for the purposes of work or study with the intention to stay for at least 6 months. All refugees and asylum seekers and those granted Humanitarian protection or discretionary leave to remain in the UK are deemed to be "Ordinarily Resident" and are fully entitled to free access to all NHS prevision.

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum.
