How to book an appointment
We recommend that all students register with a local doctor whilst at University as this will allow you to access local NHS services when you need them. You must be registered before you can book an appointment and this is confirmed by the practice with a welcome text message.
If you are registered with the Student Health Centre or the other Guildowns surgeries then appointment bookings can be made:
- Via the Guildowns website

- By visiting the surgery.
You can also download the NHS app which can link with the practice so you can see your perspective health records, order prescriptions, view your test results and change contact details.
Out-of-hours support
When the Health Centre is closed you can get support in the following ways:
Accident and emergencies
A medical emergency is a situation in which the health of a person is at high risk of deteriorating rapidly without immediate medical attention.
For example, chest pains, increasing difficulty in breathing, impaired consciousness and any of the signs of a stroke (facial weakness, inability to lift a limb or slurred speech) constitute an emergency.
Call x3333 on any University phone or +44 (0)1483 683333 from a mobile. If you are off-campus call 999.
Our local hospital is the Royal Surrey County Hospital, located just off the Stag Hill campus and opposite Manor Park, provides an accident and emergency (A&E) service.
Non-emergencies
Head to the help section for a range of information that may help you to help yourself.
