Registration transfer cards Posted or Updated on 14 Nov 2024

Accessing healthcare can be a challenge for vulnerable migrants in temporary accommodation. Language and communication barriers can also increase access issues. Healthcare access can also be disrupted where people are relocated at short notice.

The cards aim to improve continuity of care and avoid duplication by supporting newly arrived individuals to re-register (or register if a first registration) as soon as possible after they move.

They are available below in more than 30 languages.

Please speak to a member of our reception team if you would like further information on the above, below are links for further information.
