HEALTH CENTRE ADVICE FOR COVID 19  

STUDENT HEALTH CENTRE

A comprehensive medical service is available to students through the Student Health Centre. The Nurse-led Health Centre provides a triage service via telephone, thus enabling appointments to be scheduled directly with the Doctor OR Nurse without significant delays.

The Health Centre is by appointment only, however urgent cases will be seen daily pending an evaluation by the Nurse. A Student may also be asked to attend the health Centre for evaluation prior to seeing GP in order to establish priority with their appointment. A Doctor attends the Student Health Centre on a part-time basis during term-time only.

All students need to register at Health Centre for first time appointments. As part of the registration process, it is recommended that students advise their Head of Department and the Student Health Centre of any medical condition that may affect attendance or academic performance. This information will enable the college to provide support and if appropriate, resources to assist the student during their studies.

LOCATION

The Health Centre is located in both the  U-BLOCK, BIT Building (North Campus) and in A124 (South Campus).

HOW MUCH DOES A VISIT COST?

The fee for a general  doctors visit is 10 Euro. This may vary depending on the services provided.
