The College Nurses

The College Nurses at Brasenose, Merton, Oriel, St Annes, and St Peters work with us to provide care and advice to students studying at the University of Oxford.

They run their own clinics in College and can be contacted in the first instance for advice and support. With the patient's consent, they can seek advice from the Doctors in the Practice and can arrange appointments and prescriptions if needed.

Our Phlebotomist Stacey, is available to take bloods each week day by appointment.  They also carry out NHS Health Checks and ECGs, give B12 injections and Influenza and Pneumonia vaccinations. 

Blood tests must be requested by a GP or by a hospital clinic.
