Health issues

The Student Health Hub is a good place to start if you have questions about accessing health care or if you aren't sure who to talk to. You can visit the office at the St Andrews Community Hospital or email: studenthealth@st-andrews.ac.uk.

If you are missing classes because you are unwell, there is information about absence reporting online or in your student handbook.

If your School has asked for medical evidence, you can contact Student Services for advice by calling:+44 (0)1334 46 2020 or emailing: theasc@st-andrews.ac.uk.

Information about registering with a doctor or dentist, and accessing the right medical service is given in the below guides.
