Registration with
the Health Centre
Keele Students’ Union (KeeleSU) and the
Keele Postgraduate Association (KPA) will
be open throughout the weekend.
In order to register with the National Health Service
and receive treatment, you must be registered with
a general medical practice near where you live.
You automatically become a member of KeeleSU
when you become a student at Keele University.
We are here to advise, support, represent, develop,
inspire and entertain our students. We are here
for you!
If you are not already registered with a local
practice, you should register with the general
medical practice at the University Health Centre
when you enrol for your course.
For many students, the SU will be a huge part of
their social life. Here, opportunities exist to
volunteer; it’s where free advice and guidance can
be sought and where societies and student groups
are managed. Many of these opportunities are not
only great fun, but will really complement your
studies and help to develop life and future
employment skills. Try to take some time this
weekend to get to know your Union and/or Keele
Postgraduate Association.
