Health Service

Hi! Before we go any further we'd like to correct one of the telephone numbers which was in last week's edition of Salient. The number for the Free Ambulance Service is 722-999—remember to call this number if you need to see a doctor at the weekend. (Emergencies only.)

We thought this week we'd tell you about the Nurses' Clinics, available to all students at the Health Centre.

Mondays: 10a.m.—12noon=Dressings.

2.30p.m.—4.30p.m.

Weight Control Clinic. If you want to lose or gain weight come down and see either Stephanie or Vivienne and in conjunction with Diana Jones in the Gym we may be able to help you.

Tuesdays: 10a.m.—12noon = Dressings.

2.30p.m.—4.30p.m.

Contraceptive Advice. This is available to all enrolled students, see us either by yourself or with your partner and discuss any problems or queries you may have.

Wednesdays: 10a.m.—12noon=Dressings

2.30p.m.—4.30p.m.

Cervical Smears and Breast Examinations.

This again is available to all female students and is an important part of preventive medicine.(It doesn't hurt either!!)

Thursdays: 10a.m.—12noon=Dressings.

2.30p.m.—4.30p.m.

Wart Day! Have your warts removed magically and painlessly by the nurses! Also this is Vaccination day in the winter, so if you're travelling overseas come down and see us to make sure your vaccination certificate is in order. Are you up to date with your tetanus shots?

Friday: 10a.m.—12noon = Dressings.

The 10a.m.—12noon daily clinic is for students who have to have dressings and for minor injuries and sprains. Remember, you don't need an appointment to see Stephanie and Vivienne. If you can't manage to come down at the appropriate clinic time, come down anyway and have a chat.

Watch this space again next week, we'll try and have something exciting here!!
