# Register with a GP

It is important that you register with a GP as soon as you arrive in London so that it is easier for you to book an appointment if you become unwell.

Tip:

GP stands for 'General Practitioner'. They are doctors who work in the community to treat people with minor or chronic (ongoing) illnesses. They can also refer you to a hospital if you need more specialised care.

# Find a GP practice near you

Use the NHS Service website (opens new window) to find GP practices near you.

This website also locates your nearest:

  • Pharmacy
  • Dentist
  • Accident and Emergency (Hospital)
Tip:

999 is theĀ emergency phone number for ambulance, police or fire services. If you feel unwell but it is not an emergency, you can also call 111 for medical advice.
