Temporary residents
If you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from any GP surgery.
If you need treatment for more than 14 days you will need to register with that GP surgery as a temporary or permanent patient.
To register as a temporary resident in England, please visit the NHS website to find GP surgeries near to your place of residence.

Overseas visitors
In April 2015, changes were made to the way the NHS charges overseas visitors for NHS hospital care. These changes also affect some former residents of the UK. The changes were made so that the NHS does not lose out on income from migrants, visitors or former residents of the UK, who may be required to pay for their hospital treatment costs while in England.
