Yes I am going to register with the Health Centre in order to be able to get my regular prescription.
I think most students register there, even if they're also registered somewhere back home.
You'll be assigned 'red' or 'blue' and need to remember the colour cos they ask you whenever you go there xD

It's on campus, so is good if you have an emergency. If you're not registered, I don't know if they still see you properly...

Yeah, a couple of my friends were refused an appointment because they weren't registered. It's definately worth doing.

Well I shall definitley register then. It's interesting that they give you a colour to remember - never heard of that before. I suppose there must be a reason why.

I definitley know I'm going back to my current doctors whatever happens and a health centre of campus would be the ideal thing for the next three years. I'm really impressed there are the facilities to be honest.

The colours are because the students are split between 2 medical surgeries on campus I believe.

Pretty much everyone switches to the Campus GPs in fresher year. It would be super tedious if you did have health problems otherwise...

Well I only live 30 mins away from campus anyway and am planning to go back most weekends, even if I had to go to Warwick during the summer months if I ever had any health problems - I think I'd rather do that than go to my current GP at the moment. He really pissed me off today!

Most people i assume stay registered through their time at warwick. Im staying there, but im moving in at Leamington spa, for my second year. Mostly because its less effort.

Yeah, they do. Although if you go back in your 2nd 3rd years they try and tell you to switch to a Leam GP but just dont if you dont want to...

If you move to leam you are supposed to change GPs. Warwicks health service doesnt cover Warwickshire areas - only Cov.
