Registering
We strongly recommend that all students living away from home in Hatfield register with the University's Medical Centre, based in the Hutton Hub on College Lane.
We can register and provide a full range of General Practice services to University of Hertfordshire students who live within Hatfield.
We may register at our discretion other full-time students who live at a Hertfordshire or Luton address and attend the UH Campus regularly, however the services provided will be restricted as below:
If living outside Hatfield we cannot provide Home Visits and there may be restrictions on urgent care/out of hours care. Some other community services may not be available to you, including community mental health services, midwife appointments or physiotherapy.
For more information about registering with a GP outside of your local area, please visit the NHS website
We would recommend the following groups do not register with us, but instead register with a GP local to where they live:
- Pregnant women
- Students with a significant mental illness, requiring community or secondary care support
- Students with a family (particularly children under the age of 16)
- Students who need to use community services (eg district nurses, health visitors)
If you haven't already registered, do this now. Please do not wait until you are unwell to register.
