Looking after your health while at university is very important. Find out how to register with a local doctor, what do to in an emergency and how you can manage your mental health and wellbeing, below. 

How to see a doctor

Contact one of the local surgeries listed below to register with a GP. The Penryn Campus surgery is operated by Penryn Surgery, so you need to register with them if you wish to attend appointments on campus. Try to register as early as possible, so your doctor has time to access your full history.
