We want to ensure that you have access to any necessary treatment if you should ever require it during your time here. 

It usually takes 10 working days for you to be registered, however, by sending in your completed form before you arrive at University will help us put you on to our system quicker and most patients will already be registered with the Medical Centre by the time they arrive at University. This ensures continuity of care and also immediate treatment if required.

We are accepting registrations to Loughborough University students and their immediate families (i.e. spouse & children) provided they also live on campus or within Loughborough town.

Please note you will need to ensure your student ID number is on the form as your registration may not be accepted without this.

Students studying at Loughborough College must also have a university ID number to register. If we can not find you on the university student portal, your registration will be declined.

To register, please print off and complete the registration form below. To help you complete the form, please refer to the information sections in the next tab 'New Patient Information'.

Once completed, you need to send these to us either by post or email.*Please note sending information via email is not 100% secure.

Postal Address: Dr Vaghela and Dr Gill, Loughborough University, Ashby Road, Loughborough, Leics, LE11 3TU.

Email Address: lborouni.medcentre@nhs.net

N.B. International students must bring their registration forms in to the Medical Centre - Online/postal applications will not be accepted.

Named/Accountable GP

All patients registered at the Practice have a named doctor who has overall responsibility for your care and support. If you choose to see another doctor at the surgery you are entirely free to go on doing so exactly as before.

New patients registering between September 2019 and August 2020 will have Dr Gill as their named accountable GP.

Meningitis ACWY Vaccination for Freshers

Students aged between 17-24yrs and starting university are strongly recommended to have a booster Men ACWY vaccination (which has replaced the Meningitis C) if you didn’t receive one in school. This is because it is now known that your immunity to the disease will have decreased and your risk of catching the disease is higher.

If you do require a vaccination, it is very important for you to try to have this done at your home GP before you come to the University. However, if unable to do so, register with us by filling in the above Registration Forms and contact us ideally by freshers week to book an appointment.

Men ACWY leaflet for University Entrants

Please note, if you did not have the booster vaccine offered to you last year or you do not fit the criteria i.e. you are not a first year student or are outside of the age range, you are not eligible for the vaccine and we can not offer for you to have this done privately.

Temporary Registration

Where appropriate, you can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months i.e. for students returning home over the holidays. This will allow you to be seen temporarily by your home GP for health issues whilst still remaining on our practice list.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use.

Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one, you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days.

Any surgery that refuses treatment under the temporary resident status can only do so if the list is closed, or they have a valid reason, which must not discriminate in any way. If you feel you were refused treatment inappropriately, please notify the University Medical Centre immediately so that this can be recorded.

Alternatively care can be obtained from Urgent Care Centres if these are available within the students home town area.

Please note, you cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already fully registered.
