What Healthcare do I need?
All students need to ensure you register with a local GP when arriving at the university.
Your GP is usually your first port of call if you are unwell or need medical support, so it’s important to make sure you register before you might need to visit a doctor. It is particularly important if you have a health condition such as asthma or diabetes, or require medication; but will also give you access to out of hours help if you become unwell.
International Students:
In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) is the state health service used by residents to obtain healthcare. Free NHS health treatment is available to all international students studying in the UK for longer than six months and who hold a visa which proves this. As part of your visa application students would have paid the Immigration Health Surcharge, this allows you to access free NHS treatment in the same way a UK resident can.
Most healthcare in the UK is first accessed through a general practitioner (GP/doctor) you are registered with, therefore you must register with a GP now - do not wait until you are ill.
Brownlow Health Central:
If you live at any of the Halls of Residence or close to the University campus (postcodes L1, L2, L3, L6, L7, L8, L15, L17, L18), then you will be within the practice boundary for Brownlow Health Central which operates the Student Health Centre.
You can register as a patient online via the Brownlow Health Central website or attend one of the practice locations in person.
Alternatively, register with a GP close to your accommodation. Find a doctor using the NHS website.
NHS App:
University of Liverpool students registered with Brownlow Health can also make use of the NHS App.
The first official NHS App enables all patients to access a range of healthcare services on their smartphone or tablet.
How can I access my accommodation?
To keep up to date with the latest information from the Accommodation team, please visit their website.
Pick up as much information as you can before you arrive on the Halls Life platform.
What guidance is available for International Students travelling to the UK for studying?

What happens during Welcome Week and is there anything I should prepare for?
The first important date in your student calendar is Welcome Week. Running from 15 – 19 September 2025, this week is designed to help you settle into life on campus, engage in activities, get to know your department and meet new friends.
We are still planning this year’s Welcome Week programme, however, wherever possible we will be running on-campus activities and events. As soon as we have further details we will be in touch with all offer holders.
However, the Liverpool Welcome doesn’t just start at Welcome Week, and over the next few months we’ve put together a series of online programmes, activities and information to make the move to University just that little bit easier.
In the meantime, you can also find out more about life on campus and in the city on our Life at Liverpool webpages.
We work closely with Liverpool Guild of Students and Sport Liverpool to deliver a regular timetable of weekly virtual and in-person activities and events. From fitness classes and pub quizzes, to painting classes and museum tours, you’ll be sure to find something to do on-campus, or from the comfort of home.
