Sign up for the doctors on campus

It might not be the most glamorous thing you'll do whilst preparing for your move to Heriot Watt, but it's one of the most important. 

Making sure you have a GP to turn to when Freshers' Flu hits or if you need a repeat prescription will save you so much time and hassle. You don't want to get a few weeks in and need to worry about registering before you get the chance to even see a doctor or nurse.

We highly recommend you register and make use of the GP service.

On Edinburgh Campus, we have a purpose-built health centre housing the University Health Service and Dental Practice, which provides a full range of UK National Health Service (NHS) medical and dental services.

How do I register?

To register with the Doctor you will need to complete a General Practice Registration (GPR) form. The registration forms can be downloaded from the Medical Practice website or by visiting the Health Centre.

You will not be fully registered until you come into the practice to sign the relevant paperwork. When you come to the surgery to register, you must bring your student ID card or letter of acceptance from the University.

Don't underestimate the importance of this - get it sorted ASAP. You won't regret it!
