Students are eligible to register for National Health Service (NHS)cover with their local Doctors whilst in the UK.

Many international students will be entitled to use the NHS, which offers free health care. The following NHS treatments are free:

- some emergency treatment (but not follow-up treatment)
- family planning services
- treatment of certain communicable diseases
- compulsory psychiatric treatment

However, all other NHS treatment is subject to restrictions. As an international student, you may not qualify for it, and may need to get medical insurance instead.
