At North Bristol NHS Trust, we are proud to provide high-quality care to all who need it. And visitors from abroad can expect the same high standards. However, it’s important for overseas visitors to understand that not all NHS healthcare is free.
If you are not “ordinarily resident” in the UK, meaning you do not live here on a lawful and settled basis, you may be charged for some NHS services. This applies to visitors, tourists, former UK residents now living abroad, and some students or workers on short-term visas.
At North Bristol NHS Trust, we are committed to treating all patients with compassion and respect. Understanding your healthcare rights helps ensure a smooth and stress-free experience during your time in the UK.
Please visit the NHS England website to understand which of our services are free to overseas patients and find out more about NHS charges.
