HOW TO GET FREE MEDICAL TREATMENT IN THE UK 9

1 Register with a GP (local doctor) – they have contracts to provide services for the NHS. They cannot turn you down on the grounds of race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical condition.

2 There is no formal requirement to prove identity or immigration status.

3 Being registered with a GP does not guarantee free NHS Hospital treatment. However when, the clinical opinion is that immediate medical treatment is necessary then you will receive this without delay. If you cannot pay you will still receive this immediate, urgent treatment.

4 If your treatment is not immediately necessary but otherwise urgent in that it needs to be carried out before your return to home it will also be provided without delay although hospitals may try to obtain payment in advance.

5 The worst punishment currently applicable for not paying your medical bills over £1,000 is the non-renewal of your visa to visit the UK.
