Resources for Student Health in DkIT

DkIT Health Unit

The student Health Service provides on-campus medical care to full time registered students and Apprentices in the Institute in a confidential, professional and courteous manner.

All full time students and Apprentices have access to the Health Unit free of charge.

The Student Health Unit operates a walk in clinic where students are allocated a time to be seen on a “First come First Served” basis.   Our Triage nurses will provide an initial assessment and referral into the doctor if necessary.

Please note, The Health Unit is not a replacement for a students own General Practitioner ( G.P.). The services provided are as follows:

Day to day/On the day illness:

  • Minor Illness: e.g. cough and colds, chest infection, gastro-enteritis, urinary tract infection…
  • Recent/New Injuries: minor injuries, burns, dressings ect…
  • Sexual Health: e.g. advice in relation to contraception, and S.T.I. prevention.
  • Mental wellbeing: students can attend the Institute doctor for advice re. recent exam stress, referral to counsellor etc…
