Safe Surgeries

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 won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.

Why Safe Surgeries

Everyone living in the UK is entitled to register and consult with a General Practitioner (GP) without charge. It means we can prevent and treat illness early and create a healthier society for everyone.

At our UK clinics, DoTW UK helps almost 2,000 people every year who have been unable to access NHS services. On average, our patients have been in the UK almost 6 years, without ever having seen a General Practitioner. Most of these are migrants in vulnerable circumstances, who are often prevented from registering with a GP practice by administrative, language or other barriers.

They include pregnant women, people who have fled war and persecution, and survivors of trafficking and torture, who are often unable to get the healthcare they need.
