1. Cambridge's free healthcare is doing very well all over the UK, and is available to almost everyone who works and studies in Cambridge. The medical environment in Cambridge is better than anywhere else in the UK because there are two world-class medical research institutes here. One is Addenbrooke's Hospital, the main clinical hospital of Cambridge University, with advanced medical equipment and highly skilled doctors. The other is Papworth Hospital, a world-renowned heart research center.
2, new students to Cambridge, through the registration can be anywhere in the UK to see a doctor, as long as you tell someone to register the address of the clinic and the name of the doctor can enjoy free medical services. First of all, go to the respective colleges to report and register, in addition to registering at the police station, you also have to register at the local medical institutions. Take the certificate of registration from your college to the nearest Local Surgery or Health Center. The procedure is very simple and the nurse will do a simple physical examination, record your height and weight, and ask you about your medical history and other basic information. A few days later, you will receive a letter from the clinic telling you who your assigned doctor is.
3. For Cambridge students, there is one more important procedure to enjoy free medical treatment, which is to get a NHS form from the clinic, fill in the form with front and back pages according to the actual situation, and then put it into an envelope and send it to the designated organization. They will calculate the amount of your medical aid according to your financial situation and send you a certificate, holding this certificate you can buy prescription drugs from the doctor in the pharmacy free of charge, glasses, dental and other medical items within a certain range are free of charge. If this certificate is not ready when you buy prescription drugs, you can pay for the drugs yourself first, and then get a refund from the pharmacy with the receipt when it is ready. This certificate is valid for one year and needs to be reapplied for every year.
