Registering with a Doctor

Most students will go through University without having any serious health issues. However it is very important that all those students living away from home are registered with a doctor.  To register with a GP you must live within the 'catchment area' of that GP's practice. The University also has its own health centre in the Maxwell Building. You may find also it useful to visit the NHS  website for more information.
