Healthcare in London
As an expat resident in London you get free emergency treatment at all NHS hospitals, 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. See the NHS links below for details.
Once you’ve moved to London you should prioritise registering with a local GP and getting your unique NHS number. This number is the key to accessing healthcare. Find a GP close to your place of work or residence as once registered they will become your sole point of referral and source of outpatient treatment. Dial NHS Direct on 0845 4647 for a list of GPs in your area.
Private healthcare is the preferred choice of the suitably affluent. Visit www.privatehealth.co.uk to search for a suitable provider.
