NHS Health Checks and Vaccinations

After you arrive, it is good to check your general health and vaccines. Some conditions are easier to manage if they are found early.

What to do: Use the NHS guidance on registering with a GP surgery if you are not registered yet. Call your GP practice to ask about health checks and catch up vaccines for you and your family, and book appointments.

What do you need: You need your GP practice details, any medical records or vaccine cards you have, and your contact details.

Outcomes: You will have health check or vaccine appointments booked so you can look after your health in the UK.

Lifehack: Ask the GP receptionist if some vaccines are free under the NHS so you do not pay for ones that are covered.
