Services Available from Student Health

The Student Health Department provides services that target illnesses and problems that occur in the University Student population. It is not resourced to provide a GP service, but we provide a range of services that may not be as easily accessible in the community.

We do provide the following services:

Services Not Available from Student Health

We are not a General Practice service, and we cannot undertake this role for you. We are not an occupational health service either, so we cannot perform examinations or fitness assessments for non-course or non-UCC student activities. We are unable to provide care for students outside the Republic of Ireland.

Examples of services which we generally do not  provide include, but are not limited to:

  • Treatments that require supervision of a Consultant or Specialist Doctor - where there is no such Consultant available in Ireland to share care
  • Care for students when they are overseas or outside the Republic of Ireland
  • Treatments that are not licenced in the Republic of Ireland
  • Pre-employment medical certification or health-screening services for employment in positions other than UCC Student Placement positions
  • Certification or reports where the requestor/accompanying documentation identifies an indivudal's GP as the professional to complete the certificate/document
  • Medicolegal or insurance claim medicals, reports or opinions, unless we have been involved in providing care during or following the incident(s)/accident(s)
  • Medical opinion as to fitness for leisure or physical activity, other than UCC student activities, unless we have been involved in referring you to such an activity
