If you are unable to join us but would like to submit a name, we will be honoured to paint a rock for you.

TOP TIPS

If you're around Pilkington, you will notice changes to the set up of our fabulous Bargain Corner.

WE ARE STILL OPEN

However, you may have to ask to shop, either by just stopping by or by emailing or texting to set a time 😀

... and finally, there are still about 40 Golden Ticket Gift Bags unclaimed. If you haven't had one yet, get in touch and maybe I'll give you some clues 😁

Health Care in the UK

The medical care system here may work quite differently to your home country. It is vital that you register with a local GP (General Practitioner) as soon as possible, especially if you are an international student. PLEASE do not wait until you are feeling unwell.

To find a GP surgery near you go to https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-gp and enter your postcode.

PLEASE DO NOT go to the hospital for anything minor!

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Medway Campus Chaplain, or your student advice centre or the student union for further advise.
