The Health Protection Agency's migrant health guide aims to assist primary health care practitioners when looking after people who have come to live in the UK from abroad. It is organised on a country specific basis and outlines a range of health issues that might affect someone coming from each country, making their healthcare needs different to that of the UK born population. It also provides practical guidance and resources to assess and manage a wide range of health needs. The resource has been developed in consultation with users, and is endorsed by both the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Nursing.
