Translated GP Transfer Cards

Accessing healthcare can be a challenge for vulnerable migrants in temporary accommodation. Language and communication barriers can also increase access issues. To address this, NHS England has developed translated GP transfer cards in more than 30 languages. These cards have now been published and can be accessed through this link NHS England » GP registration transfer cards.

The purpose of these cards is to improve continuity of care and prevent duplication of GP registration by supporting individuals to re-register as soon as possible after they relocate. The use of these cards is not limited to vulnerable migrants, they can be used by anyone for whom English is an additional language.
