Registering with an NHS doctor

Students should register with a local doctor (within the postcode area of your term-time home) who will be responsible for your medical care whilst at the University. This does not mean the relationship with your home doctor is broken. You may still consult him/her when on vacation.

Please note: you may have great difficulty in getting medical attention if you are not registered, especially if an emergency arises in the middle of the night.
