GP Care When Away From University

We are very aware that most students lead a double life. Some of your time is spent away from university; at a parental address, holidaying or working away. However, you are resident at your university address for the majority of the year and as such the NHS asks that you remain registered at a GP Surgery near that location.

Seeing a Doctor

If you are away and need to see a doctor then go to your local surgery and complete a temporary resident (TR) form. They may ask you to re-register as full patient. This is your choice but if you are returning you will have to re-register again in Lincoln. This may mean important information is not available about you when you need it (as notes take many weeks to be transferred back to us).

If you are seeing a doctor away from University and that doctor requires additional information, you can ask the surgery to write to us or send us an email (liwccg.y04942@nhs.net) and we will endeavour to provide the relevant information.

Medical Query

If you have a query about your medical care or treatment and are well known to the service at ULHS then we may be able to help you with a telephone consultation. If however, the symptoms are new it is likely we will suggest you should be seen face-to-face.

Weekends and Evenings

During the weekend or at night then call NHS direct on 111.
