We are an established Medical Practice and take pride in offering a friendly personal service.

The Medical Centre was built in 1992 and is situated on the University campus. Any person living within the practice catchment area may apply to register. Whilst our services are predominately aimed at patients in tertiary education, we welcome all those living in our catchment area.

*NOTICE FOR NEW STUDENTS *

It is important when coming to University that you register with a GP whilst you are studying, as this will be your main accommodation for the year. If you are home for holidays/non-term time, you can register with your home GP practice as a temporary resident (valid for 3 months), meaning your medical records will stay here and we will be your main GP. 

Please have the following with you:

 - Identification (passport, driver's licence, student card)

 - Proof of current address (i.e. council tax letter, bank statement letter, copy of lease. Can be in electronic form, or via your student portal) 

- Immigration Health Surcharge Card (BRP/Tier 4 card) if nationality outwith the European Union
