Attend the Register with a Doctor Event
Newcastle University is committed to encouraging all students to register with a Doctor upon arrival.
If, like most students, you spend more weeks of the year at your university address than your family's address, you are advised to register with a doctor near University as soon as possible.
The Register with a Doctor event during University registration/Freshers week will have University and NHS staff on hand to help with this process.
