The Student Medical Centre (SMC) is your on-campus NHS GP surgery.
The Student Medical Centre is part of one of the largest NHS GP practices in Wandsworth, Putneymead Medical Group, 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.
The SMC offers 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.
