Medical Services
The SETU Waterford Campus Student Medical Service is provided by qualified nursing staff and caters to all full-time registered students and apprentices. Operating hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the academic year. It's important to note that this service complements rather than replaces students' own General Practitioner (GP).
SETU Waterford Campus Nurse Appointment
Our service offers acute care during the week for situations when students are unable to access their regular medical services, working within defined resource limitations. We provide treatment, referrals to community services, and actively promote well-being through tailored advice, information, and health promotion initiatives.
