Overseas Patients
Free GP treatment is based on residency in the UK, not nationality, paying taxes or National Insurance contributions.
Visitors to the UK can still contact a GP practice for urgent or immediately necessary treatment. GP practices may also accept patients as temporary residents.
Please note that NHS hospital treatment may be chargeable for some overseas visitors.
