Yes. We consult anywhere in England or Wales, so moving to another city changes nothing about your access to us. That continuity is genuinely useful when you are away from home and everything else has changed.
What students most often need
- Mitigating and extenuating circumstances letters, usually to a deadline. Included in the £40, and issued within about ten minutes of the consultation
- Continuing contraception or an antidepressant started at home without waiting weeks to register somewhere new
- Mental health support at a point when university services are often oversubscribed
- Being able to see the same doctor rather than starting again each time
Register with a local practice anyway
This matters and it is the advice we would give even though it costs us. You need a local NHS GP for anything requiring examination, for vaccinations, for NHS referrals, and for out-of-hours care.
Registering takes a few minutes and it is free. Do it in your first week, before you need it — not while you are unwell.
Family membership
Family cover runs to age 25 in full-time education, anywhere in England or Wales, which is often the point at which it earns its keep.
