Urgent Care

The Student Health Department is not a GP service. We are unable to visit you in your home and do not provide services outside our office-opening hours. If you believe you need to be seen urgently, or at a time when Student Health is unavailable, contact your GP service, or out of hours service in your locality for advice and care.

If you are not registered with a GP or cannnot contact your out of hours service call our number on (021) 4902311 for further details.
