You don't need to register with a GP here, but you may want to investigate which clinics and hospitals your insurer has direct billing with. That way you don't need to pay and claim.I never heard of anyone registering in UAE like you would in the UK NHS. Every surgery/hospital/clinic is separate and you just go where you want when you want. You can also go straight to a specialist if that is what you want so people don't use GPs so much here.
