Health Unit
Dublin Road Galway Campus
The Student Health Unit provides an acute illness and emergency service for students who become ill in college. The Student Health Unit is staffed by nurses and there is a doctor service available every day.
Students can attend the Student Health Unit free of charge.
The Student Health Unit operates during term time only and does not operate as a GP Practice. There is no 'out of hours' service available in the evenings or weekends.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you are advised to register with a GP practice in Galway to have access to all the supports that a practice can provide including an ‘out of hours service’ Registering with a GP practice is particularly important if you are an International student or for any student unable to return home to visit their doctor during the academic year.
