A Message from the Senior Tutor

The College will be holding a webinar today, Wednesday 7 October at 17.00  concerning the asymptomatic COVID-19  testing programme about to start in College. 

The webinar will be held online. It is most important that all resident students attend.

We will explain the testing procedure and answer any questions. Should time allow, any student (resident or non-resident) may ask questions about our current COVID-secure policies in College .

From the College Nurse

Please ensure you are registered with a Cambridge GP (General Practitioner/family doctor). You can register with any local GP. The nearest GP Practice is Newnham Walk Surgery; you can register online. You will need to send them:

  • copy of photo ID, e.g. passport or driving licence, 
  • copy of proof of address, e.g. proof of college residency or utility bill or bank statement

If you would rather register with a GP elsewhere in Cambridge, search the NHS website, respecting the catchment area limitations. Each GP practice will have details of how to register on their website.
