We are proud to be a safe surgery for everyone in our community, and pledge to ensure that everyone in our community receives the quality healthcare they are entitled to.
In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services. We will ensure that a lack of identification, or proof of address or immigration status does not prevent a patient from registering at Villa Street.
Don’t have documents? Don’t worry! We are a SAFE SURGERY for everyone in our catchment area. We might ask for ID or proof of address but if you don’t have any, and you live in our practice area, you can still register with us. We won’t ask for immigration documents.
- Everyone living in England has the right to free health care from a GP.
- If you find it difficult to communicate in English we can provide an interpreter.
- Our receptionists might ask when you arrived in the country but will not ask for immigration documents.
- If you are worried about giving us your address, let us know, your information is safe with us.
- If you do not have an address, let us know, we can help you register without fixed address.
Ask at reception if you have any questions or concerns.
