Medical Care
AUB’s Student Services work in partnership with the local Village Surgery to provide dedicated medical surgeries each week. The GP and Nurse Practitioner hold surgeries on campus during term times. For appointments at AUB, or at the Village Surgery, please contact the Village Surgery directly on 01202 525252. You will need to register with the surgery at least 24 hours before your appointment – registration forms are available at Student Services.
If you are an International or EU student, we recommend you read UKCISA’s advice on how the UK medical system works and how to make sure you are covered during your studies.
Medical support as a student
We strongly encourage you to register with a local doctor as soon as you start your studies with us to make sure that you can see a doctor quickly if you fall ill or need routine medical care during the course of your studies.

Many dentists only accept private paying patients, and as dentistry fees can be expensive you may prefer to find an NHS dentist if at all possible. To find the nearest NHS dentist to you please take a look at the NHS choices webpage and enter your postcode.
If you are a full-time student, or you receive certain benefits, you may be entitled to help with health costs.
