Our Platform
What Pathway Is
Pathway is a student health continuity platform built specifically for periods of change.
We help students stay connected to healthcare when location, registration status, or eligibility changes — before delays, confusion, or escalation occur.
Pathway focuses on timely action, not static information.
We guide students through essential steps such as GP registration, temporary cover, pharmacy access, and choosing the right service — at the moment those actions are needed, not after access has already failed.
Pathway works alongside NHS, community, online, and university services to reduce avoidable delays, pressure on urgent care, and breakdowns in continuity
Our Supportive Services
What We Offer
Pathway is designed to support this gap by helping students stay connected to existing health services during transitions.
We do not provide diagnosis or treatment — we focus on prevention, preparation, and completion of essential access steps.
Guidance
Action - Led Support
Pathway gives students clear, timely instructions for what to do as their situation changes — not just general advice.
Guidance adapts based on:
-
location
-
term dates
-
travel status
We guide students step by step through real actions such as GP registration, temporary cover, and pharmacy access, so they can complete them with confidence.
Impact: fewer delays, less confusion, smoother transitions.
Connections
Healthcare that actually connects
Pathway doesn’t just list services.
It routes students to the fastest appropriate care based on their continuity context.
Depending on location and need, this may include:
-
GP practices accepting new patients
-
community pharmacy services
-
urgent or out-of-hours care
-
trusted online booking or contact routes
Routing adapts as students move — including when NHS access is no longer available.
Impact: faster access to the right care, first time.
.
Resources
Built for completion , not browsing
Pathway’s resources are designed around doing, not reading.
They focus on the practical tasks students struggle with most, including:
-
how GP registration works
-
how temporary cover is set up
-
how pharmacy access changes between locations
When students travel or study internationally, resources adapt to explain:
-
how healthcare access works in that country
-
where to seek help if unwell
-
when care may be chargeable
-
where to find official guidance
All information links to trusted sources such as NHS, GOV.UK, and official international health authorities.
Impact: students know where to go — and what to expect.
Prevention
Stopping care from breaking
Pathway uses term dates, travel signals, and continuity status to prompt students before problems arise — such as running out of medication, losing GP access, or needing care abroad.
Prevention is measured by maintained access, not just information delivered.
Impact: fewer missed prescriptions, reduced avoidable escalation, better continuity of care.

"If there was one place that reminded me to sort my GP registration before moving home and walked me through it, that would remove a lot of stress. Transitions are when things usually go wrong for me.”
