Student Health

Look after your health so you can focus on your studies

Our team at Burton Croft understand the stress and strains of moving away from home for the first time. The financial and academic pressures of being a student can lead to anxiety and depression. Our GP’s are there to listen and advice on how best to treat your feelings and thoughts, so you can begin living like a happy and confident student again.

It is really important for you to have a doctor’s surgery at university or college especially if you have an ongoing health condition such as diabetes, asthma or epilepsy. At Burton Croft we provide comprehensive support and management of on-going health conditions so that you can get on with your studies.

We cover all aspects of Student Healthcare, including the following areas:
