Student’s Health
The Clinic has had an interest in student health arising initially from the large numbers of students residing in rented accommodation locally and from its current involvement in the provision of a comprehensive medical service for the students of The Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).
- Free registration service – giving students access to information, regular appointments and out of hours services. Ring the surgery and request “student registration appointment”.
- Patients with medical cards, who are registered with doctors outside Dublin, will be seen under the terms of the GMS (medical card) Scheme. i.e. free to the patient.
