How do I register with the NHS as a Zimbabwean in the UK?

Registering with the NHS is free and available to anyone living in the UK, regardless of immigration status, for GP (General Practitioner) services. To register: find a local GP surgery near your home using the NHS website (nhs.uk), visit or call the surgery to request registration, and complete a GMS1 registration form. You will need proof of address and ideally your passport or BRP, though surgeries should not refuse registration if you do not have these. You do not need a National Insurance number or proof of immigration status to register with a GP. Once registered, you can book appointments, get prescriptions, and be referred to specialists. Note that some hospital treatments may be charged to overseas visitors, but GP services, emergency treatment (A&E), and treatment for certain conditions are free to all. Register as soon as possible after arriving in the UK — do not wait until you are ill.
