“Fresher” students going to university for the first time should make sure they’ve had the MenACWY vaccine to prevent meningitis and septicaemia, which can be deadly. This is normally given in school years 9 or 10 but if you missed out please make an appointment to have it at the surgery.
As there are outbreaks of mumps and measles at universities if you haven’t previously had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine please give us a call to arrange this.
Covid vaccinations are now available and are recommended for students. There is a final clinic, before the summer, next week at North Cotswolds Hospital. Please telephone us on 01451 830625 to make an appointment if you are unable to book online.
NHS App – the NHS app is intended for use by anyone age 16 and over. In addition to the Covid Pass it also enables you to book appointments, view your medical record and order repeat prescriptions.

Sexual Health
There will be plenty of information about this available at uni but if you want to have a conversation before you go or want some advice about contraception we have set up some special sexual health clinics with one of our nurses. Advice is completely confidential and appointments can either be face to face or over the telephone. Appointments are available to book online or over the telephone.
