Health, wellbeing and counselling
Taking care of yourself is important, especially while you’re at university. Check out what’s on offer to keep you happy and healthy during your studies at Kingston University.
Register with a doctor
It's important to be registered with a GP while you are studying. Kingston University has an onsite GP surgery – Fairhill Medical Practice.
If you are not already registered with a general practitioner (GP) close to you, make sure you register with one as soon as you can. Fairhill Medical Practice has three sites in Kingston close to all halls and campuses. You can find a list of local GP in your area by visiting Find a GP - NHS.
The nearest practice for many Kingston students is the Fairhill Medical Practice at the Health Centre at our Penrhyn Road campus. It offers:
- Medical and nursing consultations
- Contraceptive advice
- Sexual health advice
- Help with stopping smoking
- Vaccinations
