Our GP Champion @batesej highlights the achievements of one year of #SafeSurgeries in Birmingham and how the city is moving towards universal primary healthcare coverage on @bmj_latest >> blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2019/12/12…
Asking for proof of ID & address can deter people in vulnerable circumstances from seeing a #GP. One in five of our attempts to register patients with a GP practice was wrongfully refused last year.

“Nobody wants a situation where the most excluded and marginalised people in our communities are shut out of primary care, but this is what happens when GP practices make unnecessary requests for paperwork.” @mslucyjones

@LDN_gov .@jenniecorb on the progress and challenges of #SafeSurgeries one year on. Key issues faced by our patients in accessing #care: lack of paperwork, language barriers, immigration status, and fear #SafeSurgeries4London
In 2018, 1 in 5 attempts by our volunteers to register a patient with a GP practice were wrongly refused for reasons that contradict #NHS Guidelines. #PatientsNotPassports
The reasons for refusals, with lack of paperwork as most common issue, show that already #vulnerable people, such as destitute people without fixed accommodation or undocumented #migrants, are likely to be disproportionately affected.
#GP practices are also inconsistent in their approach to registering patients, with 17% of practices agreeing to patient registrations in some cases and refusing in others.
