At Church Lane we are proud to be a ‘Safe Surgery’ for everyone in our community, and pledge to ensure that everyone in our community receives the quality healthcare they are entitled to.
Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP. If you don’t have proof of ID or address, you can still register. Immigration status or nationality don’t matter - reception won’t ask for immigration documents and won’t share your information with the Home Office unless serious crime is involved.
In partnership with Doctors of the World UK, we will ensure that our practice offers a welcoming space for everyone who seeks to use our services. We will ensure that a lack of identification, proof of address, or immigration status do not prevent patient registration. As a member of the Safe Surgeries community, we will endeavour to support other Safe Surgeries and the development of the network.
If you wish to register, please speak to a member of staff who can help and support you with the process of registration. Ask reception for an interpreter if you find it difficult to communicate in English.
The safe surgery lead at Church Lane is Dr Emma Gees.
