We are now vaccinating against Coronavirus in line with government guidelines. We are currently vaccinating those in Group 6, which is all those aged 16-64 years who have existing health conditions which place them at higher risk of serious disease. This includes, for example, people with diabetes, epilepsy, and severe asthma. These are identified on the basis of electronic searches for certain 'triggering' codes.

Please do not contact the surgery to find out more about coronavirus vaccination e.g why you have bene called or if/when you will be called , as we cannot answer individual queries due to the logistics and the demands already placed on the service. If you have a specific question ,please e-mail the office instead. You can read more about vaccination groups here. 

For advice on coronavirus and children see this helpful link from one of the surgeries we work together with.

We apologise if waiting times on the phone are longer than previously, as more work is being done over the telephone and we have a finite number of telephone lines. If your question is administrative e.g. you need a medical certificate, report, or letter, consider doing this online via e-consult.

You can also get advice from a pharmacist or look at the Student Health App for advice. Thank you for your patience at this difficult time.

If you are struggling with mental health issues due to, or made worse by coronavirus, take a look at the University self-help pages, or this page from the Charity Mind, and also our local charity for young people Off The Record.

• All prescriptions are now sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice for you to collect, not collected from Student Health.
• We are currently not fitting coils, but we can provide you with interim contraception or refer you for a coil fit if necessary.
• You do not need either a medical certificate or a sick note for University or your employer if you have to self-isolate for coronavirus, or have the symptoms of coronavirus. You can obtain an isolation sick note via NHS 111.
