University Health Service - Everything you need to know

By Residencelife2 08 Jul 2022

Whilst you are at university, you may find that your physical health becomes impacted. This can be from a change in diet or sleeping patterns, or not looking after yourself as well as you could.

It is important that if you are taken ill, or need support with your physical health, you know where to get support.

At the University of Sheffield we are incredibly lucky to have our own GP practice - the University Health Service (UHS).

The University Health Service are specialists in student health and offers services that are not routinely available at some other GP (Doctors) Practices.

Specialist Mental Health Services
Sexual Health/Contraception Services
Routine Doctor/Nurse Appointments
Support with other University support services should you need it
Interpreter Service available for consultations

IMPORTANT: Use the online Triage tool Amina for all Minor Illnesses including:
