Medical Welfare

College Nurse

The first point of contact for most medical problems should be the College Nurse. The nurse holds a general surgery and offers welfare support as well as medical help to all members of college. The general surgery is held on weekdays from 8:30am-12:00pm in Grove 1:2, 0th to 9th week, inclusive (though it might be an idea to email her to confirm she'll be around at the extreme ends of term), and is open to all members of the student body.

College Doctors

The university requires all students to have a GP in Oxford. The Merton College Doctors (Dr Judith Bogdanor, Dr Laurence Leaver and Dr Mark O'Shea) with whom most students register, hold a surgery in College on Mondays from 2-3pm, 1st-8th weeks. This is by appointment only through the college nurse, or the Jericho Health Centre, Walton Street (green arrow on map below - you'll find it next to the Phoenix Cinema) on 01865 311234, by 11am.

Urgent appointments are available on the same day if necessary. Evening and night calls are for emergencies only.

Remember that the College doctors run a totally confidential service. They do not speak about you to your friends, tutors or parents without your permission.

College Dentists

There is also a college dentist – David Le Tocq ‐ who is able to provide services on an emergency basis including examination and cleaning services but not further work involving extensive treatment. To be treated, you will need to provide evidence of your affiliation with the College. In the case of Mr Le Tocq being unavailable Dr Griffiths is available to help.

Studental

Oxford Brookes have set up a dental practice based on Headington Hill Campus which is open to Oxford University students (despite what the website says). It is called 'Studental'. Emergency treatment and extended work are available to both graduates and undergraduates.
