Information for Students

New patient?

If you need regular medication for any condition, let us know when you register. We can provide the repeat prescriptions when you need them but 48 hours notice is required for all repeat prescriptions. Talk to reception if there is a problem.
Important: We need to know if you are already on a hospital waiting list.

Home & Away

If you change your term-time address please let us know.
If you need medical attention while you are away from Aber (for example, at home during the holidays), register with a doctor there as a Temporary Resident. Then your medical records will stay safely here with us.
