Health checks are carried out by a general practitioner or nurse and cover a range of topics: education, diet, sleep, stress, physical activity, drug use, hearing, sight, vaccinations, as well as the student’s physical, emotional and mental health. It is a confidential discussion based on national health recommendations. Students can ask any questions they might have and raise any health topics that they find relevant.

The doctor or nurse listens, gives non-judgemental advice and, if necessary, refers the patient to other healthcare professionals.

To schedule a health check, students may receive a letter of invitation or they can contact the SSU reception.

An appointment takes 45 minutes if a sight and hearing test is performed.
