Student Services : Medical Care

No matter how big or small the problem, we're here to help

Medical Care

AUB’s Student Services work in partnership with the local Village Surgery.

For appointments at the Village Surgery, please contact the Village Surgery directly on 01202 525252. You'll need to register with the surgery at least 24 hours before your appointment. AUB students can register with The Village Surgery Online Registration.

If you're an International 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.

You can register with the local Village Surgery on the Campus Doctor website.

Alternatively, you can register at any other medical practice by going along with your medical card.

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 website and enter your postcode.

If you know you'll have to pay for a lot of NHS prescriptions, it may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) – effectively a prescription "season ticket". Find out more information about PPCs on the NHS website.
