For further information visit the NHS choices website: www.nhs.uk INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT There are a few "life admin" tasks you will need to sort out before you start your journey at King’s College London. One of them will be registering with a NHS GP (General Practitioner). In the UK, GP are doctors trained and experienced in diagnosing a wide range of health problems, and they are usually your first point of contact when you experience any health issues. To understand how the NHS works and what healthcare we as a GP practice provide, please read our NHS Guide and You&Your GP Guide which include commonly asked questions by new patients. We also have a dedicated Mandarin info hub . You may also want to get familiar with the NHS website , where you will find useful information and advice on how to get help and medical care as a student and find other services you may need. HOW DO I REGISTER WITH A GP? It is essential that you register with a local GP as soon as you get to the university so that you can access NHS services. If you live within the catchment area, you can register with us at King’s College London NHS Health Centre. We are a NHS GP Practice for staff and students of King’s College London only. DO I NEED ANY VACCINATIONS BEFORE I GET TO UNIVERSITY? Click here for a guide to help you understand the vaccines offered in the UK. CAN I ACCESS MY PRESCRIBED MEDICATION IN THE UK? We can prescribe some of the more common medications such as asthma inhalers, insulin, acne treatment, antidepressants and contraceptive tablets. You must make an appointment with your GP to discuss this once you register. To make things as easy as possible, remember to bring your existing medication or prescription with you to the appointment and if possible any specialist letters or results of recent tests. Please bear in mind that you may be given slightly different medication from the one originally prescribed, as local protocols vary and some medications from abroad are not available in the UK. In some cases, you will need to be referred to a local specialist before your medication is prescribed. Sometimes, it may actually be easier to get supplies of your medication posted from home. This is particularly true of some American medications for ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) which are not the same in Britain. HOW DO I FIND A DENTAL SURGERY? Dentists work independently from GPs. Check NHS Choices for a dentist near to where you live. HOW DO I FIND AN OPTICIAN? Opticians are also independent from GPs. Check NHS Choices for an optician near to where you live. IS EVERYTHING ON THE NHS FREE? If you are an international student studying in the UK for 6 months or longer, you need to pay the Immigration Healthcare Surcharge (IHS) as part of your visa application. The IHS covers most of the NHS services (with some exceptions) so you will not need to pay when accessing the healthcare service. Seeing a nurse, GP or other healthcare professional (e.g. physiotherapist, dietitian) is normally free. Tests, assessments, procedures and operations on the NHS are also free; however, this does not include some surgery such as most cosmetic operations. Also what you are charged for will depend on your eligibility for 'secondary' NHS care as above. Check this guide by UKCISA: International students' healthcare . See: When you need to pay towards NHS care - NHS There is a flat charge of per prescribed medication on the NHS, although contraception and some other medications are free. There are some medicines, such as Malaria tablets, which are not prescribed on the NHS, and you will need to pay the cost price of the medicine plus a charge for a private prescription. Some vaccinations, including MMR and meningitis C, are free, whilst others such as travel vaccines (see our Travel clinic webpage) incur a charge. A ccident and Emergency (A&E) Departments are for serious, life-threatening injuries and illnesses only. There is no charge for true emergencies, although if you are admitted to the hospital or referred to an outpatient clinic, this will incur a charge unless you are an NHS patient. The nearest A&E department to the Strand Campus is St Thomas’ Hospital . Some students qualify for free prescriptions for medical reasons or if on low income; further information can be found here . People with certain medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, hypothyroidism) and pregnant women are also entitled to free prescriptions. Your doctor will help you to complete a medical exemption form if this is the case. WHERE ELSE CAN I GET MEDICAL HELP? Pharmacists can often advise on minor ailments such as coughs and colds, mild acne, cuts and bruises, warts and verrucas, hay fever, BV and thrush, fungal nail infections, period pain etc. You can access a wider range of medication from a Pharmacist than you can at a supermarket. Opticians not only provide spectacles but can also check the general health of the eye, including the eye pressure and also the health of the retina. Dentists can provide advice and treatment for all aspects of mouth and dental care. They are separate from GP surgeries. To register with an NHS Dentist you will need to quote your NHS number. You will receive this in the post 2-3 months after you first register with a GP in the UK.

This should mean better access, best use of clinical time, and increased continuity and proactive care for those that would benefit the most from it.  To ensure transparency and to make sure your voice is incorporated into what we do, we’re now sharing a summary of these plans with you.  We encourage feedback and ask that any questions or comments are first raised at your Patient Participation Group (PPG). If they are about access more widely, you can contact nhsnwl.centrallondon@nhs.net for the Integrated Care Board.  Access Improvement plan fo r South Westminster P rimary Care Network (PCN)  To support improvement across the system, the access specification in 2025/26 NW London ICB asks PCNs to work with their constituent practices to develop access improvement plans. Here is a summary of the plans that have been submitted for your PCN on behalf of your GP Practice.  · Integrated Access Model: South Westminster PCN is setting up a simple, patient-focused way to help people get same-day or next-day care, make sure those with ongoing needs see the same clinicians, and reduce differences between practices.  · Centralised triage via eHub: All requests are managed in one place from 8am to 6:30pm using PATCHS and trained staff, following clear rules for urgent cases and making sure patients who need continuous care are seen by the right team member.  · Digital inclusion and self-service: We are encouraging patients to use the NHS App to make things easier, cut down on phone calls, support people who speak different languages. We are aiming for 10% more patients to use the app by March 2026.  · Workstreams for improvement: We will run a receptionist training programme and ‘continuity of care’ framework (a system to track care for patients who need it most) as well as doing regular checks of our services, and holding patient events and surveys to get feedback.  · Equity-focused design: We are working to reduce health inequalities by communicating in different languages, reaching out to local communities, and working with groups who are often overlooked to make sure our services fit their needs.  · Performance targets: Our main goals are to answer 90% of calls within 10 minutes, reply to 90% of online requests by the next working day, and make sure all clinical work is recorded properly and checked with regular reviews.  · System-wide benefits: These changes should lower paperwork, help staff use their time better, make it easier for patients to get help, boost satisfaction, and keep people out of urgent care by improving primary care services.  Previous Next

Eating Disorder Awareness Week Eating Disorder Awareness Week Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and backgrounds < Back Eating Disorder Awareness Week King's College NHS Health Centre 2 Mar 2025 Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and backgrounds Understanding Eating Disorders Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that involve unhealthy eating habits, extreme concern about body weight or shape, and a range of emotional and physical issues. They can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Types of Eating Disorders Anorexia Nervosa: Characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image, leading to severe restriction of food intake. Bulimia Nervosa: Involves episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, fasting, or excessive exercise. Binge Eating Disorder: Characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food, often quickly and to the point of discomfort, without the regular use of compensatory behaviors. Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED): Includes any disordered eating behaviors that do not fit the criteria for the above disorders but still cause significant distress or impairment. Causes of Eating Disorders Genetics: Family history can increase the risk of developing an eating disorder. Psychological Factors: Conditions such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can contribute. Societal Pressures: Cultural ideals about body image and weight can influence eating behaviors. Trauma: Experiencing traumatic events can trigger disordered eating patterns. Signs and Symptoms Extreme restriction of food intake or excessive exercise. Preoccupation with weight, food, and body image. Withdrawal from social activities, especially those involving food. Physical signs such as significant weight loss or fluctuations, fatigue, and health complications. Treatment Options Psychotherapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches can help address the underlying issues. Nutrition Counseling: Working with a dietitian to develop a healthy eating plan. Medical Intervention: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to treat associated mental health conditions. Support Groups: Connecting with others who understand can provide emotional support and encouragement. Conclusion Eating disorders are serious conditions that require professional help. Early intervention can lead to better outcomes, so it’s important to seek assistance if you or someone you know is struggling with disordered eating behaviors. Previous Next
