Healthcare in London


As an expat resident in London you qualify to receive free emergency treatment at all National Health Service (NHS) hospitals, though in-patient treatment and dental work will be billed to you. Reciprocal healthcare agreements with a range of foreign countries mean that citizens of certain countries are exempt from healthcare payments.

Once you’ve moved to London make it a priority to register for an NHS number; this documentation allows you to access the system.
