Whether you are living in Cardiff Met Campus halls/Private halls or a house in the surrounding area, you will need to register with a GP/Dentist and Optician as soon as you arrive or indeed beforehand if you know your address. As GP’s have catchment areas, you will need to find a local GP surgery and contact them about registering with them. This useful list will locate your nearest GP/Dentist and Optician.

At Cardiff Met we empower students to combat their own Wellbeing and Mental Health head on. We believe that self-help is useful to understanding and managing your own mental health and research suggests that reading is a useful method. Use this link here for books that are prescribed by the NHS; these can be accessed as e-books as well for those who dislike pulling out books!

The Chaplaincy Service is a unique and vibrant part of Cardiff Met providing a welcoming, safe and confidential environment for students of all faiths and none.
We offer bereavement support and general pastoral care for students who are feeling isolated or just need someone to talk to. We offer culturally sensitive support for ethnic minority students and support for students who may suffer racial harassment/racism or hate incidents. We also offer additional support to refugee and asylum seeker students.
We have three multi-faith prayer spaces across our campuses and can assist you in finding faith communities in your local area. The chaplaincy is also a space to explore spirituality, faith and/or philosophy. We also run interfaith events in partnership with the Student Union as well as organising faith festival celebrations.
We are a listening ear for anyone who needs us. If you would like to have a chat then you can contact us on

The new prayer room in Cyncoed is B009. The new ablution room is B0T1 which is further down the same corridor.
The NHS provides clinics at Cardiff Royal Infirmary (CRI) and in other locations across Cardiff. All clinics are confidential.
The CRI provides the most comprehensive Sexual Health service and would be the recommended point of contact for most issues.

Student Services and Employability have a Wellbeing service that offers support in the shape of 1:1 wellbeing appointment, counselling sessions and access to resources around the clock.
