Appointments (Tel: 01865 483193)

During term there is at least one doctor available in rotation for booked appointments in the Oxford Brookes Medical Centre every morning and afternoon during term time.

We also offer shorter telephone consultations at the end of each surgery – please ask reception if you would prefer this.

Practice Nurse Drop-In Service (Tel: 01865 483193)

In addition to the 10-minute bookable doctor and nurse appointments at our Brookes University Medical Centre, we offer students the option of a nurse drop-in service between 8.30am and 12.30pm. There is no drop-in service at St. Bartholomew’s.

Practice nurses provide a wide range of services. These include:

  • Protocol-led minor illness management. Such as treatment for acute tonsillitis, cystitis (bladder infection), thrush.
  • First aid.
  • Sexual health advice.
  • Contraception advice. Nurses can also prescribe the oral contraceptive pills but only if they have been prescribed by a doctor here.
  • Emergency contraception.
  • General advice on sports injuries.
  • Travel advice and vaccination.
  • Help with stress and anxiety.
  • Cervical smears.
  • Asthma.
  • Smoking cessation advice and prescribing is done by our practice nurses.
  • Students can also obtain a free supply of condoms from the medical centre.

Medical Certificates for Exams

The practice will not issue retrospective certificates for exams or missed deadlines, for patients who did not consult when they were unwell. Students must see their Tutor.

Change of Address

Please notify us immediately of any change of address or telephone number. This prevents problems when sending you letters, making hospital appointments or home visiting.

New regulations also allow the PCT to check your registration, and if they do not receive a reply they will remove you from our list as ‘Gone Away’. If you are a student at Brookes, please note that you MUST notify the Medical Centre of your new address, as the University does not pass on that information.
