Student Health Service premises closure

Date/time : 
From 16th March 2020 until further notice

From this Monday morning, 16th March, the Student Health Service (SHS) premises closed (not the service, just the premises). There is no suitable isolation room there and there is no way to limit access to those who already have appointments (i.e. those triaged and checked for COVID-19 symptoms). Because of the increased risk of patients with COVID-19 walking in, the SHS had to close.

The main Globe Town Surgery (82-86 Roman Road, London, E2 0PJ) will be open but there will be “controlled access” (e.g. appointments only, triaged and checked for COVID-19 symptoms).

All GP practices have been asked to put in place similar arrangements (i.e. triaging to avoid COVID-19 patients walking in).

Any students with appointments will be contacted and offered another face to face appointment at Globe Town or a video consultation. Globe Town have already contacted students who had scheduled appointments on Monday 16th March.
