You need to register with a doctor as soon as you arrive in the area. The RAU has an on-site surgery, should you choose to use it. You will still keep your own doctor at home, who will see you if you become ill during the holidays.
University Health Centre
To register with the RAU surgery, you need to bring your medical card. If you do not have this, you will be given a form to enable you to register with the doctor.
The RAU surgery hours are –
