You will be given full details of who to contact and how to contact them when you are in York. However, health care is provided by Unity Health on campus, the NHS urgent care centre at York District Hospital and various chemists, dentists and opticians in York. You should note that there are long waiting lists for free dentists and unless it is an emergency or you are prepared to pay for private treatment, it is unlikely that you will be seen.
The Unity Health Kimberlow Hill Surgery is available for your use during your stay. This is on the Heslington East campus, which the 66 bus goes to. You do not have to pay to see the doctor if you have a Europeisk helsetrygdkort, but you will need to pay for medicines prescribed.
The Kimberlow Hill Surgery is open:
08:00 – 20:00 Monday to Thursday
08:00 – 18:00 Friday
09:00 – 13:00 Saturday
Tel. 01904 754900
You can make an appointment using the telephones at the NSC.
You can also access urgent health advice through the NHS 111 service by dialling 111 or go to the York NHS Urgent Care Centre which is located at the York Hospital next to the Emergency Department. The Care Centre is open 24/7. The care centre can deal with a range of minor injuries and ailments that require urgent attention or advice. There is no need for an appointment or registration – just turn up and wait.
In an emergency call 999 for an Ambulance or go straight to the York Hospital Emergency Department.
