Students – What happens when I go home for the holidays?

When you register with the University Health Centre, you will be removed from your current doctor’s practice list and all your health records will be transferred to your new GP at the University.

We require your previous medical records before prescribing regular medication. Therefore please ensure you have a month’s supply of regular medication from your previous surgery before registering.

You will need to register as a Temporary Resident with your previous doctor if you wish to consult them sometimes, such as when you return home for the holidays. The surgery will ask you to complete a Temporary services form GMS3
