Registering with a dentist


In the UK there are two types of dental practices: NHS and private. Make sure you check before you register as private practices tend to be much more expensive. As mentioned above, even if you register with an NHS dental practice, you will still have to pay subsidized rates for treatment. Please visit the NHS website for more information http://www.nhs.uk/ NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/dentists.


Prescriptions


The cost of prescriptions is mostly covered by the NHS but there is a small fee of £8.05 for most prescriptions. Please check with your local GP or pharmacy.


Hospitals


Emergency treatment is free in all hospitals in the UK and free for all students who are here on a course that is longer than 6 months.
