Heading Back to Uni? We've Got Your Back!

Sep 24, 2024 NHS Medications

 

Heading to university is an exciting time, including making new friends, having new experiences, and some serious studying. But between managing assignments, attending lectures, and getting involved in student life, it’s easy to forget about your health and well-being. That’s where Simply Meds Online ensures you're well-prepared and supported every step of the way.

 

We’ve got all the essentials to keep you healthy, happy, and stress-free, delivered straight to your door. From over-the-counter essentials to repeat NHS prescriptions, we make staying healthy easier.

 

Uni Essentials You Don’t Want to Forget

When stocking up on uni supplies, you need more than just textbooks and pens. Here’s a quick checklist of popular products that students rely on during their time at university:

 

1. Cough and Cold Remedies

Freshers’ flu is real. As the colder months approach, ensure you're stocked up on cold and flu relief, like cough syrup, decongestants, and throat lozenges, to keep you feeling your best.

 

2. Sexual Health

Staying safe should always be a priority. We offer a wide range of condoms, sexual health kits, and emergency contraception to ensure you’re covered, no matter the situation.

 

3. Digestive Aids

Late-night kebabs, takeaways, and ready meals might take their toll on your digestive system. Whether antacids, indigestion tablets, or probiotics, we’ve got you covered when your stomach feels less than great.

 

4. Hydration and Eye Care

Studying late into the night or staring at screens for hours can lead to dehydration and eye strain. Keep your energy levels up with hydration tablets and protect your eyes with soothing eye drops to reduce dryness caused by too much screen time.

 

5. Allergy Relief

Allergies can strike at any time, whether it’s a pollen-heavy spring or a dusty student flat. Visit our over-the-counter hay fever and allergy section to stock up on antihistamines and nasal sprays to keep sneezes and sniffles at bay.

 

6. Pain Relief

From headaches after too much screen time to general aches and pains, having ibuprofen, paracetamol, and heat patches on hand can make all the difference when discomfort strikes.

 

7. Vitamins and Supplements

Maintaining a balanced diet can be tricky with a busy schedule and a student budget. Boost your well-being with vitamins like vitamin D (especially during the darker months), multivitamins, and immune support supplements to keep you feeling your best throughout the term.

Register with a Local GP  

When you move to university, one of the first things you should do is register with a local GP or your university health service. This will make it much easier to access healthcare when needed. The same applies to the dentist, optician and any other health and wellbeing professionals you need to be able to see locally.

Essential Info for Uni Life

As a new student, familiarising yourself with nearby medical services is good. Check out your local A&E department, urgent care centres, and sexual health clinics. Knowing where these are in case of emergencies will give you peace of mind. To find a local sexual health clinic near your uni, check the NHS sexual health clinic finder.
