Everyone in the UK is entitled to register and consult with a GP. It means we can prevent and treat illness early and create a healthier society for everyone. Westgate Surgery is proud to be a Safe Surgery.
We recognise that barriers to healthcare access exist, particularly for migrants in vulnerable circumstances. However, we believe that small changes in practice can make a difference, ensuring that lack of ID or proof of address, immigration status or language are not barriers to patient registration. We are willing to lead by example and work to ensure that nobody in our community is excluded.

Translation service
If English is not your first language, or you have any other requirements, please ask at Reception to see if our translation service can help you. Please note that this is not always available straight away and may require an additional wait whilst a translator is sourced. This service is usually provided digitally rather than a translator attending in person.
Chaperones
Should you wish, patients are able to take someone into their appointment with them. However, should you wish someone to accompany you but do not have anyone with you, please ask at Reception if one of our team can act as a chaperone. Please note that we may also ask that a chaperone accompanies you in your meeting.
Policies
Please ask at Reception if you would like to see a copy of one of our policies.
