DENTISTS

There is a University Dental Service almost opposite one end of the College (StPeter’s Terrace), at 3 Trumpington Street; dentists are available for consultation by all Junior Members. The Committee of Management of the University Health Services has recommended that, under current National Health Service arrangements for dental treatment, Junior Members register with a Cambridge dentist while they are in residence in the same way as they register with a Cambridge General Practitioner. Junior Members should enquire of the University Dental Service or of a General Dental Practitioner for details. Besides the University Dental Service there are, in the town, a number of General Dental Practitioners, some with surgeries quite close to the College. Junior Members may, of course, if they wish, make use of the services of these Dental Practitioners.

COLLEGE NURSE

The College Nurse will be in her surgery at Peterhouse on weekdays during Full Term at the following times:

Monday and Friday 08.45-10.30am

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 11am-12.45pm

Any members of the College may attend for treatment of minor ailments or injuries; they may also consult the College Nurse in general at these times without appointment.

If Junior Members are confined to their rooms by illness, they should feel free to ask the nurse to visit them; sick visits are part of the normal duties of the College Nurse. If they are in College, they should send a message to the Porter's Lodge through their bedmaker; if in lodgings through a friend or through a landlady. Any message should be sent before 9.15 a.m.
