The Student Medical Centre (SMC) is your on-campus NHS GP surgery and as such we are uniquely placed to help you manage your healthcare needs.
We help students thrive in health and wellbeing, working with the university for your success and best possible experience.
The SMC is part of one of the largest NHS GP practices in Wandsworth, Putneymead, which offers the full range of NHS medical services covering physical and mental health, sexual health and contraception, health checks and dressings, injections and immunisations. We can offer face-to-face, telephone and video consultations depending on your preference and electronic transfer of prescriptions to local pharmacies to reduce the number of times students need to attend the medical centre.
This service is free to UK students, but you must be registered before we can offer you an appointment.

Public Health England advise all students who are starting university in September to ensure that their immunisation schedule is up to date, specifically this includes having had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine and a Meningitis ACWY vaccine. If you are unable to obtain these prior to your arrival, please book an appointment as soon as possible when you are on campus.
If you are an international student, please see the link on our website regarding NHS services.
If you take regular medication, please ensure you bring enough with you for the first couple of months after you arrive in the UK.
As healthcare embraces the greater use of technology the NHS will often send appointment details through by text messaging, they are only able to do this if you register with a UK mobile number - SIM cards are available through NEST, please be aware that many services will be unable to contact you if you do not provide a UK mobile number when you register with the Medical Centre.
The Medical Centre is located in Froebel College at Old Court, the surgery is open 9.30am -1pm Monday to Friday during term-time. Outside of these times and during Easter, Christmas and Summer breaks, patients can seen in person at Putneymead Group Medical Practice in Putney or via online consultations.
