Healthcare in the UK

Once everything is in place you will receive a letter with your NHS number.

Once you are registered with a doctor, you should be able to use Patient Access to make and cancel appointments, request repeat prescriptions and view your medical records all online.

To do this you will need to visit the Unity Health branch closest to you with a form of Photo ID, alternatively, you can download the NHS App which can verify your identity and do this for you without you having to visit the practice.

This often works much better than trying to make an appointment by telephone.

Go to the hospital if you have any of the following:

• A broken bone 骨折 or any other injury that is causing you a large amount of pain. 任何其他造成您剧烈疼痛的外伤

• Head Injury 头部外伤

• A deep cut that would normally require stitches 通常需要缝针的较深伤口 - even if the cut does not seem that big if it does not stop bleeding - it is safe to get it checked out!

• Major blood loss 失血过多

• Severe allergy reactions 严重的过敏反应

• Severe burns and scalds 严重烧伤、烫伤

• Severe chest pain and/or shortness of breath 严重胸痛和/或呼吸短促

• Loss of consciousness 丧失意识

• Severe loss of bodily fluids - dehydration 体液严重流失-脱水

• Major trauma 严重创伤, for example, if you have been in an accident

• Any other serious injuries or illnesses that need immediate treatment.
