My GP surgery is not accepting new patients — what can I do?

My situation:n

• I have tried four GP surgeries near my accommodation
• All are saying they are not taking new patients
• I understand there is an NHS process for getting registered even when local surgeries are full

nnThe process that exists:n

• Contact your local Integrated Care Board (ICB) — they can direct you to a surgery that must accept you
• The NHS Patient Access Rights state you have the right to be registered with a GP — surgeries cannot permanently turn away patients without an alternative
