Confused about NHS

Hi everyone! I've been reading the posts looking for info on finding a doctor in the UK. I moved here at the end of December on a fiance visa. I was under the impression that I was not covered by NHS until I was on a spousal visa. From what I've read, it seems like I'm covered now. If that's true, how do I go about getting an NHS number? Does anyone have a recommendation for a good doctor here?

You need to register with a local GP (General Practitioner) to access NHS. They will register you and send your information to the local PCT (Primary Care Trust) and they will in turn register you with the NHS. You may or may not receive an NHS Card.

Fiance(e)'s & Dependents are eligible to NHS Services, you just have to register.

As far as a good doctor, you may want to register with the GP that your fiance is registered with as there are catchment areas that GP's cover and you may be limited as to where you live.

Florence Road surgery is quite good if they are accepting new patients.
