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'. You only need to register with the Medical Centre once during your college stay. If you are a returning student who has previously registered with the medical centre, you do not need to re-register. Please log in with your student email address and password. It may take up to 24 hours / next working day, before you are registered to use the medical centre.

Medical Centre Registration Form

The SETU Carlow campus student medical centre is nurse led and available to all full-time registered students and apprentices during college hours, throughout the academic year. The service is a term time addition but not a replacement for the student’s own GP. It provides acute care during the week when it is not possible for students to attend their own medical service and operates within certain resource constraints. The service provides treatment and referrals to community services, and promotes positive well-being through advice, information and health promotion. Nurse Theresa Lowry Lehnen is available for the assessment, treatment and management of students’ health needs during the term. Doctors attend the Medical Centre four days per week (Monday – Thursday) term-time only, and appointments for the Doctor 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.
