Student Health Matters

The Student Health Centre is located in block C, level M (room CM061) in the main building and provides a service for University of Limerick registered students only.

The Student Health Centre Reception opening hours are Monday to Friday 09:00-10:30, 11:00-12:45 and 14:00-16:30. Please see Clinic Times for specific clinic opening times.

The Student Health Centre is an urgent care/advisory service and deals with all general health issues as they present. Any students with a long term medical condition which requires regular follow up should register with a local GP, as the Student Health Centre is not a GP service.

Please note medical card users may only use their cards for prescription purposes, for the contraceptive clinic and for the STI clinic. All other services will incur a fee. Please state when booking an appointment that you have a medical card.

The confidential treatment of health information and health records is a professional obligation of all staff of the Student Health Centre. All consultations are treated in the strictest confidence and no information is given to others without written permission.

Booking an Appointment

All appointments must be booked in advance with the exception of Monday mornings between 09:00 and 09:30, when urgent walk-in doctor appointments are available.
Appointments can be made by either telephoning 061 202 534 or by calling in to the Student Health Centre Reception. It is not possible to book appointments via email.
Urgent appointments are accommodated as much as possible for students who are acutely unwell and in need of immediate medical attention. Please telephone at 9am in order to request an urgent appointment. Availability will depend on demand. In the event we are unable to facilitate you, a list of alternative options will provided.
For routine appointments (e.g. renewal of prescriptions, blood tests etc) please book in advance so that we can facilitate a time that suits you.
Please state what specific type of appointment you wish to book e.g. contraception, STI screening, I grade etc. If your appointment does not fall into any particular category then this would be called a “general” doctor or “general” nurse consultation.
NB! On the day and time of your booked appointment, please check in and pay at reception before your appointment. If you do not check in, no one will know that you are in the waiting room.
