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.
The Health Centre is located in both the U-BLOCK, BIT Building (North Campus) and in A124 (South Campus).
The fee for a general doctors visit is 10 Euro. This may vary depending on the services provided. The nursing service is available to all registered students free of charge. Medical cards are accepted, however students that have a medical card registered with a Doctor in Tralee are required to see their own GP.
The Doctor attends the Health Centre term time only every Monday through Thursday. All appointments to see the Doctor or Nurse must be arranged through the Nurse by
