Register with a GP (Doctor)

You should register with a doctor when you've moved to Newcastle or Gateshead. If you've not moved here yet, we recommend waiting to register with a local doctor until you arrive at university.

Out-of-hours services

If you become ill or injured outside of standard medical practice hours, there are a number of different ways you can seek help. You can go to A&E if your illness/injury is life-threatening.

If you're on campus and need urgent medical help or you're in immediate danger, get in touch with our university security team on 0191 208 6817.

If you're off campus and need urgent help, call 999.
