As a student, you may be living far away from your home address. It is therefore vital that you register with a local GP.
The Student Medical Centre is ideal as it is based on Talbot Campus. If you would like to register with us then please complete the registration form and the new patient questionnaire and then bring it to the Student Medical Centre along with your Student ID Card.
You’ll also need to provide a letter confirming that you're a BU student; you can self-print a standard status letter to confirm this via myHub – under ‘My Documents’.
