Please do not wait until you are ill. The University health service will provide you with the address of your local doctor with whom you can register. This service, which is intended to work in conjunction with your own doctor, is available without charge to all matriculated students in the University. No home visits are made. The service is staffed by male and female physicians, a consultant psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, clinical ophthalmologist and a nursing sister.
All consultations are strictly confidential.
The service, based at 63 Oakfield Avenue, is normally open from 09.00 to 17.00 on weekdays. Otherwise, you may be treated as a private patient which will cost much more than the statutory National Health Service charge. Please note that you must be registered with a doctor before being entitled to be treated by a dentist under the National Health Service. If you want to have your eyesight tested, make an appointment for a test with any qualified optician. There is a fixed charge for this.
