Health
The NHS
The NHS (National Health Service) is the main health provider in the U.K. It is publicly funded, and was born out of a long-held ideal that good healthcare should be available to everyone residing in the country. Almost every GP surgery and all of the main hospitals within Glasgow are run by the NHS.
Doctors
Registering with an NHS doctor
You should register with a local doctor (within the postcode area of your term-time home) who will be responsible for your medical care whilst at the University.
Please note: you may have great difficulty in getting medical attention if you are not registered, especially if an emergency arises in the middle of the night.
