Nhs Number.
14 Answers
How do you go about finding out your NHS number if you're not registered with a GP?
My daughter moved to Ireland in 2008. Then moved to Australia in 2011. She's back in England now and needs to register with a GP but the local doctors won't register her without an NHS number.
I've phoned the doctors she used to be registered with and they said because she left the country she's been taken off their books so they have no way of finding out her NHS number (I wonder what has happened to her medical records!)
Any ideas what to do next?

you need to phone your local PCT (primary care trust) who will give her the number. Google wherever you live (county) and pct to find the number. The GP surgery should be able to help you with this. Some areas now don't call their PCT a PCT, if you need any further help and don't mind saying which county you live in, post again and I will try and help (retired NHS manager)
her PCT should be in this list

if she is ill and can prove her entitlement to NHS treatment, (UK passport) she can be treated as a visitor. My late Mum has had visitor treatment at my GP, she didn't have to produce her NHS number, just her passport. The other option would be a walk in centre or an A and E. Same thing, take passport.
