Allow university students to be able to register at 2 GP surgeries

Closed 49 signatures

What the petition asks

Students should be allowed to register at a GP in their hometown and Uni city since they spend considerable amounts of the year in both places. During the COVID pandemic students are having to change plans unexpectedly and they should not be denied health care due to their location.
This is very important for all those students undergoing medical investigations or with chronic conditions, particularly those who need to collect prescriptions and frequently review their treatment, especially during this health crisis.
