Free NHS Services for Students

Free NHS Services for Students

As a student, you may be entitled to free prescriptions, dental treatment, eye tests and more. It is worth checking what you can claim.

HC2 certificates

If your income is low (which it usually is as a student), you can apply for an HC2 certificate that covers full help with NHS costs — including prescriptions, dental treatment and glasses.

Register with a local GP

One of the first things to do when you arrive at university is register with a GP near campus. It is free, quick and means you can access appointments and referrals when you need them.
