NHS Doctors

You should register with a local doctor (GP) i.e. a doctor in the area where you are living. You can do this by going to the National Health Service website www.nhs.uk and then click on GP Surgeries, then type in your postcode. This gives you a list of GP’s in your area. Choose one, and then visit the surgery to register. Take your college acceptance letter with you.

The Department of Health recommends that all new students be immunised against meningitis (meningococcal group C). Contact your doctor (GP).
