Who to contact

The NHS in Cambridge has produced a guide for students, old and new, about local NHS services. So if you’re not sure where GP practices are in Cambridge are or how to register with one, or if you want to find out about mental health support services, then have a look through their guide.
There is also a new ‘MyHealth’ app available for download. The new ‘MyHealth Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’ app will direct you to your nearest appropriate NHS service. This includes local GPs, pharmacies and dentists, based on your location or postcode. Free to download the app provides up to date information on current services including directions, opening hours, and contact details. It is also available in five other languages, including Polish, Latvian, and Lithuanian. The app is available to download for iOS via Apple Store and Android via Google Play by searching for ‘MyHealth C&P CCG’.

International students - NHS entitlement
You are entitled to free National Health Service care and treatment whilst in the UK if your course is both full-time and lasts six months or more, or if you have paid your NHS immigration health surcharge (IHS) when applying for your visa.
If this is the case, entitlement also applies to your family members (spouse/civil partner and your children). To be entitled, family members are required both to live with you for the duration of your course (although settling-in time is permitted before you send for them) and to have the correct UK visas and IHS Reference number. You are also entitled to specialist care from the NHS, as long as it is for the treatment of a condition that is not pre-existing.

If you have a Mental Health Crisis, please call 111 and select option 2.
