Please do not call the practice regarding registration with us. All the information is on this website. Sick patients cannot get through as the phone lines are being clogged up with registration queries.

About Our Practice
The University Health Centre is an independent National Health Service partnership of general practitioners who rent premises from the University and offer full G.P. services to patients who live within the practice area, and who choose to register with the practice.
If you book an appointment and later find you no longer require it, please ring and cancel (or cancel it via the online appointment service if you have signed up for that) so that it can be made available for another patient. Routine appointments are usually 10 minutes.
Registering with Us
We are registering new patients who live within our practice area via our Campus Dr electronic registration process link.
We only accept applications electronically between 10am on Tuesdays and 5pm on Fridays. Once we have reached our maximum number of registrations the system will not take any more. Please do try again another day.
Queries by email or by phone will not be dealt with so please do not call or email us as you are preventing patients requiring clinical attention from getting this promptly by blocking our phone/email forums.
