Experiencing the asylum process in the UK and impact on health

Unfortunately, too often refugees face barriers to accessing even basic health services. There is, therefore, an urgent need for better provisions and cooperation between health professionals and relevant government departments so that those gaps are understood and addressed.
We know, through our direct work with people seeking asylum, that the asylum support model creates a degree of uncertainty and distress, and that people find it extremely challenging to access health services. They are often wrongly refused access to primary care, like GP registration, as well as routinely refused interpreting by GPs, dentists or even at the hospitals, even when this is essential to an understanding of their health problems.
