Registering with a GP when at University
Having a GP (general practitioner) and access to other healthcare professionals in University means you can easily access care if you need it.
If you spend more weeks of the year at your University address than elsewhere, you need to register with a GP local to your Study as soon as possible so that you can receive routine and urgent care if you need it.
This is especially important if you have an ongoing health condition, particularly one that needs medicine, such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy or mental health issues.
