The Health Centre provides primary medical care for the entire HKBU Community subject to campus access control. The fee chargeable for the service depends on the category to which the person belongs.
Primary medical consultation includes consultation by a general practice medical practitioner and a three-day prescription for medication that is included in the General Medication List. For students, health tests that are recommended by the attending doctor and included in the General Health Test List will also be covered. The General Medication List and the General Health Test List will be posted at the Health Centre.
For medication and tests that are outside the general lists, the doctor will inform the patient about the additional costs and their benefits. The prescription will be provided only upon the patient’s acceptance of the additional costs.
The Health Centre operator is currently setting up an online appointment booking system for the Health Centre. A separate announcement shall be made once the system is ready. For the time being, the appointment can be made by telephone booking at 3411 2011.
When using the services of the Health Centre, students, staff and their eligible family members must present their valid University Student Card / Staff Card / Affiliate Card for registration and to enjoy the concessionary charges for their respective categories. Without a valid card, the charges for “Others” will apply regardless of whether that person has previous medical records with the Health Centre or not.
For all HKBU and HKBU-SCE full-time and part-time students, HKBU staff and eligible family members, the operator of the Health Centre offers concessionary charges for certain off-campus specialist consultation, physiotherapy and general practitioner (GP) consultation. Please contact the Health Centre on the panel lists and applicable concessionary charges.
Please note that the concessionary charges for specialist consultation and physiotherapy only apply with a referral letter issued by the general practice doctor at the Health Centre. Since charges for specialist tests and medications can be complicated and sometimes expensive, we recommend that students and staff obtain detailed information when they need to seek specialist medical advice.
Students, staff and their eligible family members are required to present their valid University Student Card / Staff Card / Affiliate Card for verification purpose.

The University provides an off-campus Student Dental Scheme for students on a voluntary basis with an annual scheme fee. The dental services are provided at off-campus dental centres under the Well Being Dental Services Limited (“Well Being”). Starting from September 2021, the Scheme is managed by the Estates Office.
HKBU and HKBU-School of Continuing Education (SCE) students are eligible for the Scheme. The fee for joining the Scheme depends on the category to which the student belongs.
Students who are eligible to participate in the Student Dental Scheme 2023-24 can enrol online starting from 1 August 2023 and enjoy the basic dental services and other benefits from 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024. The last day of enrolment is 30 June 2024, but students are encouraged to enrol as early as possible.
To enrol, you may either complete the Online Enrolment Form or via the HKBU Mobile app and pay the fee online according to the instructions given.
A confirmation message will be sent by Well Being via email within seven working days to the student who has successfully enrolled on the Student Dental Scheme.
Other dental services are also offered by Well Being but these are subject to additional fees. Since the charges for these services can be complicated and sometimes expensive, it is recommended that students ask for detailed information before booking any additional services.

Students must note that all fees paid for enrolling on the Student Dental Scheme are not refundable. Even if your study ends before 31 August 2024 or if you are unable to use any dental services provided by the Scheme, no fees will be refunded or be transferred to other individuals.
Any cancellation or rescheduling of appointments must be made at least one working day before the scheduled time. Otherwise, the student will be charged HK$80 by Well Being.
