GP and emergency care

Your PA will support you to register with a GP and will help you to attend health appointments. A GP treats preventative illnesses and will be able to refer you to other services.

Your PA can also give you information on financial assistance for prescriptions which the GP may issue.

Remember - If you move it will be your responsibility to inform your GP and sign up with a different, more local GP.
