Dr Jennifer Hollands and Dr Tabitha Winnifrith also consult. We are an independent NHS Practice but the ethos of the practice is to liaise closely with Student Services and the Students Union and to tailor our services to University life.  If you are registered elsewhere consider whether your doctor allows you to book  on line, has a sports physiotherapist, provides mental health counselling, free travel vaccinations and free sick notes.  Finally how quickly can you get an appointment? To use the Medical Centre you therefore need to be registered as an NHS patient either as a full or as a temporary patient. In an emergency the Centre will help even if you are not registered. The Medical Centre is situated at the Park Site close to the Refectory. It can be easily accessed by students from all three Cheltenham Campuses. A nurse is on site for emergency advice during opening hours (see below). You can also consult from the Underwood Surgery (see other website) SURGERY TIMES There is a receptionist or nurse on site from - 9.00am - 5.00 pm Monday to Thursday 9.00am - 1.00pm Friday The Appointments line will be closed over lunchtime. DOCTORS' SURGERY TIMES 10.00am - 12.00 pm Monday to Friday 2.30 pm - 5.00 pm Monday to Thursday WHY REGISTER If you are living in Cheltenham during term-time, you will need to be registered with a doctor in Cheltenham in order to receive routine and emergency medical care. It is therefore important to register with a doctor as soon as possible. To consult the doctors at the Medical Centre you need to be registered with the Underwood Surgery. Many students will do this during registration week at the college. Alternatively you can register by turning up in person at the Centre itself. You can still see your GP at home during the holidays, if necessary, by consulting him/her as a temporary patient. At your first visit to the Medical Centre you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire as your medical notes can take a long time to arrive. There is a selection of health information leaflets available at the Medical Centre which you are welcome to read and/or take away with you. We  welcome University Staff registering provided that they are resident in Cheltenham Borough.
