Medical emergencies

You can register as a temporary patient with a local GP and still remain registered with your permanent GP at university.

If it is an emergency, you can receive treatment from any GP surgery. GP surgeries hold back a number of appointments on the day for emergencies.

For more information please visit the NHS website.
