Stress Management Group start on Thursdays 11th November for
three weeks. This group looks at the stresses involved in studying
at LSE and offers a wide range of helpful coping strategies. You
need to book in advance -
click here for more details.
The International Students Workshop will be running on 3rd
November offering an opportunity to explore cultural and academic
styles in the UK. The Good Writing Psychology workshop
will be running on 5th November. For both these events you can
either just turn up or the presentations are available on the
Student Counselling Service website.
Registering with a GP
If you
have not done so already you must register with a GP in London. Our
nearest practise is on Colombo Street, about five minutes walk from
Bankside. Health care in the UK is free and it only takes a short
time to register; not being registered makes accessing the NHS very
difficult in the case of emergency. There is information about
registering on the notice-boards on each floor or you can contact
the practise on 020 7928 7958. If you completed a purple and white
NHS form when you signed your contract then you have already registered.
