I’ve just landed in the UK and need a doctors appointment urgently, do I need my biometric residence permit (BRP) to before I can get a GP appointment?

You do not need your BRP in order to register for a GP or obtain an appointment with a doctor.

If you are urgently needing an appointment, you can go to an Urgent Care Centre or a walk-in clinic to be seen quickly. If you’re unsure where to go or what you may need medically, you can call the NHS helpline 111 for advice and direction.

If your need for a doctor is severe, attend A&E.
