Student Services
We welcome all students to register at the practice.
We have patients from all the surrounding Cambridge University Colleges and Anglia Ruskin University, as well as other higher education establishments. We are used to tailoring our healthcare to the unique demands of studying at Cambridge and are able to provide a holistic service by working with other medical and academic establishments that may be involved with your care.
Find out why we feel it is important to register at a local GP surgery.
Practice services for students and younger people
Our practice provides comprehensive services to support you while studying in Cambridge.
When we are closed, please call NHS 111 for advice. This service will advise you on where to go to access healthcare or will arrange for the GP out of hours service to call you. Please do not go to A+E except in an absolute emergency.
Sexual health, contraception and unplanned pregnancy
We provide a non-judgemental service for all of your sexual health and contraceptive needs including the ability to fit contraceptive implants and coils.
In the event of an episode of unprotected intercourse, please contact the surgery, NHS 111, or your local pharmacist as soon as possible. Ideally this should be within 3 days but certainly no more than 5 days after the event - the earlier the better.
In the event of an unplanned pregnancy please come in to discuss the situation with one of our doctors to discuss your options.

College nurses
In some circumstances it may be appropriate to see your college nurse in the first instance particularly for advice on minor illnesses and support in times of emotional distress. The college nurse will also be able to advise you on whether your college provides additional access to other health services such as physiotherapy or counselling (above and beyond that provided by the University and NHS).
