Health Service

The Institute has a fully equipped Health Centre on campus. It provides a general medical service with an emphasis on health education and preventative medicine. Confidentiality is maintained and all medical records are retained in the Health Centre. They do not form part of the student record. The service has been increased over the years to meet the demands of the students whose visits home at the weekends are more infrequent due to work and study commitments. The Health Centre employs a full time Nurse and two doctors hold clinics for a total of 15 hours during the week.

 

The nursing service is available to all students. No appointment is necessary. Consultation with the doctor is by prior appointment. A €15 fee is charged by Student Services for students who do not qualify for a medical card. All students are covered by a personal accident insurance policy, which is part of the student services fee. This provides cover for medical costs while on college activities.

Appointments for consultations with the doctor can be made at the Health Centre by phoning the receptionist at 090 6468063, or by calling in to the Health Centre.
