New Student Registrations
03 Jun 2025
Potential increase in student registrations – What you need to know
Public Health Scotland is urging students to check they are up to date with their vaccinations before starting university or college.
Students are at increased risk of infectious diseases like meningitis and measles. These diseases spread easily in universities and colleges, as students mix closely with others from around the country and overseas. The new term for Scottish universities and colleges is an important opportunity to remind students of the free vaccinations provided by the NHS in Scotland.
The campaign’s focus is to encourage students to check their vaccination status and contact their local NHS immunisation team to arrange any necessary or missed vaccinations. We’re also advising students who have moved away from home to register with a new local GP practice, to ensure they still receive access to healthcare services during their studies.
If we have any queries on your registration details the we will contact you direct within the next month. It takes up to 5 days for your registration to be processed. If you do not hear from us then your registration will have been successful. Please do not call or email us to check this.
These are not required in Scotland so you will not automatically be issued with one of these. If you do need this then there will be a delay in provision of this at this busy time.
If you need this for insurance purposes then we can provide you with a letter but this is private and not NHS work so a charge will be made for this. This is not a priority for us to provide this and so there may be a delay of up to 40 days or longer before we can provide this.
There are many medical problems which you do not need to see a doctor about, which can be dealt with quickly. Please see our attached signposting poster for help you can access before considering if you need a doctor.
If you need to make an appointment with us to see a healthcare professional, please telephone our reception on 0131 650 2777. Although we cannot respond to clinical queries by email due to patient confidentiality reasons, if you have a general query you can send this via eConsult which you will find on the website.
Please ask reception staff for details of how to book an appointment online to speed up this process in future.
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.
If you continue to be unable to register, please see the NHS Lothian webpage for alternative practices covering your address as we do not have the capacity to register all students.
