In a medical emergency, this is when you or some else is seriously ill, injured, or someone's life is at risk please dial 999.
The National Health Service (NHS) is the healthcare system in Scotland. NHS treatments and prescriptions are usually free of charge but some including dental treatment will require a small fee.
To help you make a speedier recovery and to make sure all NHS services are run efficiently, it is important to go directly to the correct service. The Know-Who-To-Turn-To Guide is helpful in determining what services you should contact based on your issues.
If you find it challenging finding a suitable service please make an appointment with our Student Support Advisers who can help.
When it comes to your health and medical care, remember that it’s always ok to ask questions. Whether you’re seeing a GP, dentist, pharmacist, or any other health professional, in any care setting, it’s important to feel confident and informed about your treatment, procedure, medication, or test, even if it’s routine.
