Students given health advice ahead of university

Students are being encouraged to be up to date with their vaccinations

Students across a county are being given advice on how to keep healthy ahead of going to university.

Doctors from NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough are encouraging people to be up to date with their vaccinations.

The trust is also offering support and guidance around sexual health and registering with a local GP in the city where their university is based.

Dr Fiona Head, medical director at the trust, said: “There’s lots to think about when arriving in a new city to start university and health and wellbeing should be at the forefront of students and their parents/carers minds whilst preparing.”
