Your Health

Student Health & Wellbeing includes four teams who provide practical, emotional and specialist disability related support to our students.

Merging legacy City and St George's resources

As we bring together resources for Clerkenwell & Moorgate (legacy City) and Tooting (legacy St George’s) students, some content may be specific to one campus and not the other. For the most relevant information, try using specific keywords or exploring content related to your department. If you need help, our support teams are available to guide you.

Clerkenwell & Moorgate students can use Support@City

Tooting students can contact studentlifecentre@sgul.ac.uk.

Register with a Doctor / GP

It is important that you register with a GP near where you live. We encourage you to do so as soon as possible, rather than wait until you feel unwell. Please note there is no GP/ University Doctor at the Student Support Service.

You can find out about services in your area by contacting the following agencies:

Find a Doctor / GP

Find a GP near you on the NHS website. Check your local GPs opening times, services and facilities, performance measures, reviews and ratings.

Choose a doctor within walking distance and phone to check if they will take you on as a patient. If you are accepted you will be asked for your name, address, date of birth and for your medical card (if you have one).

Every GP service should have a leaflet which will tell you the surgery hours and types of services offered - e.g. contraception, smears, travel clinics, etc.

Occupational Health

At City St George's, Occupational Health services for Medical and Health Sciences students are provided by OH Works Ltd.

The service is available Monday to Friday and operates on an appointment-only basis.

Purpose of the Occupational Health Service

Occupational Health provides advice and support on health matters in relation to your studies, clinical placements, or fitness to undertake professional training.

The Occupational Health Service will also provide advice and support on:

  • Health clearance and fitness assessments for regulated professional programmes.
  • Immunisation and vaccination requirements for clinical placements.
  • Advice following occupational exposures, such as needlestick or sharps injuries.
  • Health conditions or disabilities that may affect your studies or placement activities.
  • Health related risk assessments, including assessments for pregnancy and other specific health needs.
  • Recommendations for reasonable adjustments to support your learning and clinical training.

Where appropriate, Occupational Health may provide advice to the University regarding any reasonable adjustments that may be required to enable you to participate safely in your programme.

Health Screening and Immunisations

Students enrolled on professional healthcare programmes are required to complete Occupational Health screening as part of their registration and clearance process.

Occupational Health will arrange any programme related immunisations and screening that may be required, such as Hepatitis B vaccination and tuberculosis (TB) screening, in accordance with national guidance and placement requirements.

You will be provided with documentation confirming your immunisation status and health clearance. Remember to keep these certificates safe, as many hospitals may ask for proof of immunity before you are allowed to undertake clinical study there in later years, and you may be charged for a replacement.

Travel Vaccinations

Please note that Occupational Health does not provide travel vaccinations. If you require vaccinations for overseas travel, you should contact your GP practice or a travel vaccination clinic.

NB: Please note that referrals to Occupational Health cannot be made by students directly, you should speak to your Course Lead, Programme Director, or another appropriate member of academic staff, who can advise on the referral process and refer you to Occupational Health.
