| A NEW BUILDING FOR BRADFORD STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE |
A NEW BUILDING FOR BRADFORD STUDENT HEALTH SERVICE
The practice is working with a
developer to build a new surgery in
the University's sustainable student
village, meaning our current building in the grounds of the halls of
residence in Laisteridge Lane will close. You can see a picture below of the
proposed new building, which we will occupy a part of, perhaps alongside other
services such as; optician, dentist, pharmacist, physiotherapist, and diagnostic
services
You can read more about the proposed new building by opening Bradford
and Airedale PCT's Consultation
Document (PDF
format). It also tells you how to register your comments and opinions
about the proposal
| CONTRACEPTIVE ADVICE AND SEXUAL HEALTH |
CONTRACEPTIVE ADVICE AND SEXUAL HEALTH
Please feel free to discuss with the doctor or practice nurse any concerns
you may have about sexual health, contraception, sexually transmitted
diseases and terminations of pregnancy. We offer completely confidential
advice and guidance. Please note that new patients must have their
first contraceptive review in a routine doctor's appointment, they
can then see one of our nurses for future contraceptive consultations
| EXTENDED OPENING HOURS |
EXTENDED OPENING HOURS
You may have read recently that doctor's surgeries are being encouraged
by the Government to open longer hours. This may be by opening earlier
in the morning, staying open later in the evening, or opening on
Saturdays and Sundays. Bradford Student Health Service has chosen
to offer extended opening hours on certain evenings for pre-booked
appointments between 6.30pm and 9pm
| IMMUNISATION AND TRAVEL |
IMMUNISATION AND TRAVEL
If you are planning to travel abroad soon please take the time to read
our new Travel page. 
It
contains a lot of useful information that will help you prepare for
your trip, and keep safe and healthy whilst away. Our nurses run
weekly comprehensive travel advice and immunisation clinics. Please
remember to plan well in advance of your travels (at least 6 to 8
weeks if possible), so that you have time to receive any necessary
immunisations - it is never too early to come and discuss your travel
plans with the nurse!

| CHLAMYDIA |
CHLAMYDIA
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection
in the UK. It often causes no symptoms, and can be passed on to others
without you realising. However, complications may occur if it is left
untreated, and it can cause serious problems later in life if not treated.
You can find more details on our Chlamydia
page. Bradford Student Health Service
is offering Chlamydia screening by a 'pee in a pot' collection method,
where you can be tested for Chlamydia simply by giving a urine sample.
Please ask for details at Reception. No need to see a doctor or nurse,
and results can be sent to your mobile phone in a text message if you
wish
