Registering with a Doctor (This can sometimes be called a surgery, or GP- General Practitioner)
You should register with a local doctor (GP) after arriving in the UK. You can find a nearby surgery using the NHS GP finder. You will usually need proof of identity and address. Once registered, you can book appointments for non-emergency medical care. If you have difficulty registering, NHS Cambridgeshire’s Patient Advice and Liaison Service can provide support.
Registering with a Dentist
You can find and register with a dentist using the NHS dentist finder. Some dentists offer NHS treatment, while others provide private care.
Emergency Medical Services
In an emergency, call 999 or go directly to the nearest Accident & Emergency (A&E) department. Emergency care is free at the point of access, but further treatment may be charged depending on your status.
Nearest Hospital (A&E)
The nearest A&E department is at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 0QQ. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. More information is available on the Cambridge University Hospitals website.
