Registering online as a non-English speaker

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Open the leaflets in one of the following languages:

Registering as a temporary patient

Visiting or Need Temporary Care?

If you’re visiting the area and need medical care, we can register you as a temporary patient for up to three months. Temporary patients can access the same level of care as permanent patients.

To register as a temporary patient:

  • Contact us or another local GP practice.
  • You can receive emergency treatment for up to 14 days without registering as a temporary patient.

Temporary registration does not affect your registration with your permanent GP.

Registering children

Children under 16 need to be registered by their parent or guardian. You can do this by completing the online GP surgery registration form on their behalf. You will need to provide a form of ID to prove that you’re their parent or guardian.

What to do if you’re registering on behalf of someone else

If you are a carer of young children, elderly adults or adults who aren’t able to register themselves, you can set up an account on their behalf. This will allow you to book an appointment and access parts of their GP online services account.

Change of address

If you are moving house, please let us know as soon as possible. If you are moving out of the surgery’s catchment area, you may be asked to register with a surgery that’s closer to your new home address.

You can contact us online to let us know about a change in your address.

Please also let us know if your telephone number or email address changes.

Carers

Do you look after someone who depends on you because of an illness or disability?

If you provide help and support to a partner, relative, child, friend or neighbour who could not manage without your help due to physical or mental illness, disability, frailty or addiction, then you are one of thousands of unpaid carers in Bristol.

If you are a carer, it is important to look after your own health as well as the person you care for. 

Here at Broadmead Medical Centre we want to be able to do all we can to help you to stay as healthy and informed as possible, so you can carry on caring for as long as you want to. Please register with us; this enables us to provide you with the following benefits:

  • Free ‘flu’ vaccinations each autumn
  • Sharing information with you about the person you care for if she/he consents to this, which will make communication easier
  • More flexible appointments depending on your needs as a carer

If you look after someone, please let us know – we may be able to help you. To register as a carer with us, please complete a registration form at our reception and bring along signed consent form.

You can also access a wide range of information and support from our local carers support organisation Carers Support Centre or contact CarersLine on 0117 965 22 00. They can help you with:
