Registering with a GP
If you have not done so already you must register with a GP
in London. Our nearest practise is on Colombo Street, about
five minutes walk from Bankside. Health care in the UK is
free and it only takes a short time to register; not being
registered makes accessing the NHS very difficult in an
emergency. There is information about registering on the
notice-boards on each floor or you can contact the practise
on 020 7928 7958. If you completed a purple and white NHS
form when you signed your contract in September then you
have already registered.
