醫療NHS 登記 (醫生篇)

如果大家在申請左BNO visa後，就可以使用NHS (National health services) 服務。大家可以睇下呢篇文章了解一下英國的醫療制度。

什麼是GP (General Practitioner)?

全科醫生（GP）是您的家庭醫生，是負責您一般醫療保健的聯繫者。所有英國居民都有權享受NHS GP的服務。

A General Practitioner (GP) is your family doctor and is the main point of contact for general healthcare for NHS patients. All UK residents are entitled to the services of an NHS GP. GPs are highly skilled doctors who support patients throughout their lives. They are trained in all aspects of general medicine.

?如何登記GP?

?當您有BNO visa後，您可以帶同證明文件到您所住的區域的 GP中登記成為patient 。如果您去的那間GP滿了額，就需要去您所住的區域的一間註冊。每間GP都會根據您所住的 post code同埋佢地仲有冇quota收新登記者黎決定是否俾您登記。

?建議您到該GP的網站先看看，如果該 GP已滿額，不再收新patient,通常都會註明的。

?在英格蘭登記GP時要填form (GMS1 registration form)，有些GP會有自己的form,通常表格在登記GP 時會提供，不過都可以上網print呢張form先填再交。

?登記完後，GP會寄一個NHS number去您的住址 (England, Wales 用NHS Number, Scotland 用另一個名稱叫The Community Health Index (CHI)。
