The University Health
Service, which provides a comprehensive medical service for students, is housed
in a purpose-built Health Centre, providing full general practitioner care as
well as
 in-patient
and nursing facilities. Students who are taken ill during term may be admitted
to the Health Centre and cared for until they are well. A fully-staffed dental
service is also provided under the National Health Service. A small annual fee
is payable by all full-time students and enables them to use those in-patient
and nursing facilities provided by the Centre which are additional to the
general practitioner service available to all visiting students under the
National Health Services.
EU Students
EU students can normally obtain
free treatment from the University Health Service and if necessary from
hospitals and doctors under the British National Health Service and if necessary
from hospitals and doctors under the British National Health Service. You should
obtain form E112 or E128 before leaving home. There are charges for
prescriptions, dental work and spectacles. If you are here for less than six
months you cannot pre-register but in the case of emergency you can go direct to
the Health Centre or to any doctor. If you are here for six months or more you must
register on arrival with the Health Centre or any doctor.
JYA Students
JYA students are eligible for emergency NHS
Health Care ONLY if your stay is 6 months. Students studying for one term should
arrange their own medical insurance - we strongly recommend you seek advice
before leaving home. Medical Insurance is the responsibility of the student.
