Gower Place GP practice in discussions with ULU

UCL has been looking to relocate the Gower Place GP practice from its current site in order to use the space for new student and staff facilities in the Faculty of Maths and Physical Sciences. Encouragingly, the practice is now in discussions with the University of London about occupying space in the University of London Union (ULU) building on Malet Place. If the practice moves to ULU, as well as retaining all its existing services for the UCL community, it will offer services to all students resident in WC1 - regardless of their college within the University of London. It will also be open to anyone in need of emergency care. The move is likely to take place during the 2014/15 academic year. UCL is committed to ensuring that student and staff health care provision is not jeopardised in any way as a consequence of the move, and will extend the Gower Place lease that expires in 2014 to ensure a smooth transition if needed. The Gower Place premises are required for the provision of a centre for postgraduate research students in the UCL Faculty of Maths and Physical Sciences.
