Public Health England's Migrant Health Guide: an online resource for primary care practitioners

Approximately 13% of the UK population in 2015 was born overseas. Most migrants have come to the UK to work or study although there has been a small increase in the number of asylum applications in the UK in recent years, reflective of the ongoing humanitarian situation across Europe.Migrants in the UK tend to be young and healthy, but some may face unique health needs as  a result of their experiences before, during and after migration. For these needs to be appropriately recognised and addressed, evidence-based advice is needed for UK professionals.
