GP registration – what to do next!

Helpful Advice……

As a new student in Lincoln, it is important that you register with a local medical practice.  You have the option to be registered with the University of Lincoln Health Service Medical Practice (GP) when you first arrive in the city.  That way you can receive emergency care if you need it and access health services quickly and easily while you're at University.  This is especially important if you have an ongoing health condition such as emotional health problems, asthma, diabetes or epilepsy.   Please be aware, for some emotional and physical health conditions the Practice may recall you for an annual review via a text message, email or letter.  Again, this is important to ensure you are getting the best care for your medical condition.

The University of Lincoln Health Service are experienced in supporting students, and also in working with the University. This is important if you are ill throughout your studies.   Student Wellbeing will also support you during this time.

A visit to A&E is for emergencies only, for example a severe injury/bad accident, fracture or bleeding.  For most medical problems, the first port of call is your Pharmacist or GP.  Outside normal working hours, ring 111 where they will provide advice, or you will be put through to the out of hours GP service.

For your information: The Practice is situated next to the Wellbeing Centre on campus.  Look for the blue HEALTH SERVICE / NHS logo.  Please do not hesitate to contact us on 01522 870010 if you have any questions or queries.
