The Student Health Service is available to all full time registered students and apprentices during office hours throughout the academic year. The Student Health Service aims to provide a confidential student friendly service with a particular attention to preventative medicine, health promotion, and healthy lifestyles. The service should not replace your own GP as your primary care giver therefore we recommend that all students register with a General Practitioner in Sligo to provide emergency medical care for out of office and weekend hours. The service is intended to provide you with acute medical care during the week when it is not possible to attend your own GP.
Student Health Service medical records are confidential and will not be passed to another source without the student’s consent.
Students with a chronic condition, disorder or disability which may require specific support or monitoring are advised to make themselves known to the Institute Health Service as soon as possible after registration so appropriate care can be planned.

A doctor is available onsite for a minimum of 2 hours a day by appointment. Appointment for the doctors must be made after you have been assessed by the Nurse.
