Welcome to Porter Brook Medical Centre & Student Health at SHU
Our dedicated practice team consists of doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, health practitioners, nurse associates, pharmacists, health care assistants, attached health care professionals, officers, administrative staff and receptionists. Together, we provide a full range of general medical services. All patients registered with the practice can be seen at Porter Brook but our site at the City Campus is only available to students of SHU.

Of course, we’re not just here for when you are unwell. Our team of healthcare professionals and back-up staff offer several clinics and services to promote good health and wellbeing whatever your medical condition.

When the surgery is closed, please phone the surgery daytime number: Your call will automatically go through to the Sheffield GP Collaborative or you will receive a voicemail message directing you towards the NHS 111 service.
