Medical Services - Carlow Campus
Students must be registered with the Medical Centre to use the Medical Centre Services.
New students please register online at the beginning of term using the 'Medical Centre Registration Form' below. Students only need to register with the Medical Centre once during their entire college stay. Please note that it may take up to 2 working days, before you are fully registered to use the medical centre.
Medical Centre Registration Form
SETU Carlow Campus Medical Centre is a nurse-led service provided by an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) and is available to all full-time registered students and apprentices during college hours throughout the academic year.
The service is a term-time addition and not a replacement for the student’s own GP or medical service. It provides acute care during the week when students are unable to attend their usual medical service and operates within defined resource constraints.
The service offers on-site assessment, diagnosis, prescribing, treatment, and management of students’ health needs; referral to hospital and community-based services when required; and promotion of positive wellbeing through advice, information, and health promotion.
Doctors attend the Medical Centre four days per week (Monday - Thursday) term-time only. Doctor appointments are booked by phone, on the day, from 09.00-10.30.
Telephone: +353 (0) 59 9175606.
Medical records are private and confidential and are not part of the main SETU records.
