Each year a new influx of students come to Merseyside for Fresher’s Week and we know that starting university or college can be an exciting time but can often lead to students needing local health services.
Students can rely on Mersey Care for help both when they arrive and during their time at university or college. We know the early days as a student can also be challenging with having to juggle new responsibilities such as managing finances, everyday relationships and studying.
Living in a new area or city is difficult enough so we’ve made it easier for all our new students to know how to access our services during their stay in Merseyside.
Watch our Freshers Week animation for support.
We have urgent treatment centres (UTCs) and walk-in centres (WICs) across Cheshire and Merseyside.
If you need same day urgent care, please contact www.111.nhs.uk or call 111. It’s available 24 hours a day, seven days per week and they’ll know the best service for your treatment need.
You can also turn up to any of our UTCs and WICs without an appointment. Select your nearest site from the drop down menus below for further information. However, if its an emergency or a serious injury, you should dial 999 or go straight to A&E.
Other key pages for students can be found on our website. They include:
