Getting registered and appointments

Repeat prescriptions can be obtained by calling into the Student Medical Centre and listing your name, address and requirements or via our Talbot Medial Centre website. Please allow 48-working hours before collection. You will need to see a doctor initially regarding your medication. Please be aware, there is a limit on the number of repeat prescriptions we give. You will be asked to make an appointment when your review is required.

Home visits are for people too ill to attend the Medical Centre. For all home visits please call 01202 636400 before 10am, if possible, leaving your name, address, phone numbers and details of the problem.

Please phone us or visit the Student Medical Centre one week after the test has been done for the results. Cervical screening takes longer; please allow three to four weeks for results. We will try our best to contact you if any action needs to be taken.

Please let us know every time you change your address, mobile or your landline number by filling in a form (available from reception). Updating your details with us is important because:

• in an emergency the doctor may end up at the wrong address
• if we need to refer you to a specialist, your appointment may never arrive
• we may need to contact you urgently
• if you are not at your registered address, the Shared Business Services Registration Department may remove you from our list and you’ll have to re-register.
