AbstractTwo principles should underpin the provision of primary health care to refugees: (a) that refugees should have the same access to quality primary care services as the local population, and (b) any specialist service should have the goal of full integration of the refugee into normal general practice. The various ways in which medical care can be provided to refugees and the knowledge, skills and attitudes important to such provision are described. One way in which such a service was provided in east Kent is reported. The term 'refugee' encompasses newly arrived refugees who are awaiting a decision from the Home Office, as well as those who have been given permission to stay, either as recognized Refugees under the provisions of the 1951 United Nations Convention, or with Exceptional or Indefinite Leave to Remain.
