Committed to being a Safe Surgery

Posted on:

We are pleased to announce our Practice has committed to taking steps to tackle the barriers faced by many migrants in accessing healthcare.

We have declared our practice as a ‘Safe Surgery’ for everyone and ensure that lack of ID or proof of address, immigration status, or language are not barriers to patient registration.

Safe Surgeries recognise the barriers to healthcare access that exist, particularly for migrants in vulnerable circumstances, and believes that small changes in practice can make a difference. Our Practice is willing to lead by example and work to ensure that nobody in their community is excluded.
