Nurse

Hello and welcome to Sidney Sussex College.

Nurse - Mrs Jenny Taylor

Tel. +44 1223 3 38826

I am your college nurse and I hold surgeries Monday – Friday in the Health centre, which is located on P staircase (opposite the entrance to the library).  No appointments are necessary.

I have experience in a wide range of medical and psychological conditions and can offer advice and support during your time at Cambridge.  You are encouraged to visit me if you feel unwell, sustain an injury or have a problem which you wish to discuss in confidence.

Normal surgery times are:

Out of Hours

If you need medical advice when the Health Centre is closed please contact your GP.

Overnight and at weekends URGENT CARE CAMBRIDGESHIRE is the local Out of Hours Emergency Doctors' Service and can be contacted on 0330 123 9 131. It is run by local GPs and practice nurses you will be able to receive advice/treatment either on the phone or at Chesterton Medical Centre.  If necessary you will receive a home visit. 

Minor ailments can be treated by your GP or by URGENT CARE CAMBRIDGESHIRE 24 hours a day but in an extreme emergency the nearest casualty department is at Addenbrookes hospital.  An extreme emergency is a condition such as a suspected broken bone, road accident, a severe wound that requires stitching, suspected heart attack or any other life threatening condition.

Please remember that all Porters are First Aid trained and should be informed immediately in an emergency (01223 338800).
