Lower Broughton Health Centre is proud to be a Safe Surgery.
We are committed to providing equal access to our services for everyone in our practice area, regardless of their immigration status. This is in line with our duties under NHS England guidelines for GP registration and informed by our knowledge of the barriers to healthcare faced by migrants in vulnerable circumstances.
Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality don’t matter – reception won’t ask for immigration documents and we won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.
Don’t have documents? Don’t worry.
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.
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.
If you wish to register, please speak to a member of staff who can help and support you with the process of registration. You can also ask reception for an interpreter if you find it difficult to communicate in English.
