There's a med student setting up a first response thing.

Other than that it's ambulances.

There's the student health service too for non-emergencies. You could be waiting up to a week for an appointment though depending on how busy they are.

Quick question while this is here. Where is the doctor on campus, and is it free? Being feeling like crap the last while, so I'm giving in and want to go. Also, do I have to make an appointment or can I just walk in?

In the Student Centre, and it;s free. You can walk in, but if you walk in you'll be sent to the nurse and then, if it's necessary, referred to the doctor. Which can take quite a while.

Just adding to what Raphael said, a good hint is to go early in the morning. As in be there at about 8.30 so that you're the nurse's first patient. My friend got seen straight away by doing this.

Oh, and it's upstairs in the student centre. Go in the door beside the ATM and it's the little door on the right. Up the stairs and it's right in front of you.

Cheers, thanks for that. Was just about to ask for times of it, need to go early. May aswell go then.

Raphael, thanks also!

I think unicare have a response team. The med student one will be another while before it gets off the ground id say. Best of luck to them

Hmm, just hit me that I don't know exactly what time it opens. The SU website isn't particularly helpful either, it refers to 'opening hours' but doesn't tell you what they are. Pretty sure it opens at either 8.30 or 9 though.

9.30 - 1.00

2 - 4.30
