Making GP Registration Easier for Students
As thousands of students prepare to start university, being able to access healthcare quickly and easily while away from home is more important than ever.
Our bespoke Student GP Registration Service makes registering with a local GP simple, fast and entirely online.
Rather than having to navigate an unfamiliar healthcare system, students can compare local GP practices based on factors such as location, opening hours and practice information. Once they have chosen the practice that best meets their needs, their registration is securely sent directly to the practice.
Students also receive a digital guide to local NHS services, helping them understand where to go for different health needs and how to access the right support.
This makes things easier for students while also helping GP practices and the wider NHS by supporting appropriate use of local services and reducing unnecessary pressure on urgent and emergency care.
The service has supported over 50,000 students across Newcastle and Gateshead to register with a GP.
It offers a straightforward, proven approach that benefits students, universities, GP practices and the wider healthcare system.
