International Help

Welcome to The Cambridge Practice, GP Practice.

This section of our website is dedicated to all visitors from outside of the UK. 

We aim to provide accurate information on how to access different types of healthcare, please be aware there may be a charge for Healthcare services.

  • If you are in England for a short visit but are unwell and need to see a GP, you can register as a temporary patient with a local doctors surgery. You’ll need to fill out the temporary registration form using exactly the same details you used when you filled out your visa. This is a link to our Temporary Registration form. You need to be in the area for more than 24 hours but less than 3 months, and be unwell.
  • Call NHS 111 if you urgently need medical help or advice but it’s not a life-threatening situation. You can also call NHS 111 if you’re not sure which NHS service you need.
  • Visit a walk-in centre, minor injuries unit or urgent treatment centre, if you have a minor illness or injury (cuts, sprains or rashes) and it cannot wait until your GP surgery is open.
