Emergency medical support

Student Support and Wellbeing Services does not offer emergency support. If you or someone else needs urgent medical assistance:

  • Go directly to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department of your local hospital.
  • Call 999 to request an ambulance if you are unable to reach the hospital yourself.

Non-emergency medical support

If you would like to speak to a doctor about your symptoms or a pre-existing health condition:

  • Contact your GP surgery to request an appointment.
  • If your GP surgery isn't open, call 111 for free out-of-hours NHS medical support.
