We are very happy to provide care for students at Hertford College. All students are enouraged to register with one of the college doctors. The college doctors have a close working relationship with the college welfare team and the academic staff. They are very experienced in student health issues and how the stresses of academic study can impact on health and vice versa.

The Hertford College Nurse Joanna Stenning is able to provide many of the services which you would expect from a Practice Nurse, including contraception and sexual health advice. The Nurse will be providing clinics at Hertford College each week day.  Please telephone the surgery 01865 311 811 to book a telephone appointment in the first instance.  There is no drop in clinic at present due to Covid.

All consultations are confidential. However, your college nurse may liaise with the college welfare team and medical staff with your consent.

Also, if you remain registered at your home address, then your home health authority may not agree to funding of NHS hospital care in Oxfordshire, should you need it.

If you choose not to register with us or transfer to another practice please make sure to inform your college of this choice in case of emergencies.
