If you have moved to Liverpool for your studies, make sure you register with a local GP.
Your GP is usually your first port of call if you are unwell or need medical support, so it’s important to make sure you register before you might need to visit a doctor. It is particularly important if you have a health condition such as asthma or diabetes, or require regular medication.
Your new doctor will be able to liaise with your usual hospital consultant if necessary, and you can continue to visit your home GP on a temporary basis during the holiday periods.
Brownlow Health – Student Health Centre
If you live at any of our Halls of Residence or close to campus (postcodes L1, L2, L3, L6, L7, L8, L15, L17, L18), then you will be within the practice boundary for Brownlow Health Central, which runs the Student Health Centre on campus.
Brownlow Health has three surgery sites across the city:
- 70 Pembroke Place (L69 3GF)
- Peach Street (L69 7ZL), this is the Student Health Centre on campus.
- Argyle Street (L1 5DL) in the Ropewalks areas of the city.
Once registered you can visit whichever is easiest for you. Plus, you can take advantage of their Blinx system to handle medical queries and administrative requests (like sick notes) online.
Registering is simple! Just head to the Brownlow Health Central website to register online or attend one of the practice locations in person.
Brownlow Health also operate other practices around the city – Kensington Park, Princes Park, and Marybone (next to the Superlambanana), but you’ll need to register with one of those directly if you prefer to use them. More details can be found here.
