Health

Welcome to Glyndŵr’s Walk-in Health Service

The nurse provides a student focused health service giving professional, confidential and non-judgmental help with any health related issues.

No appointment necessary

I offer:

• Face-to-face nurse-led service during weekdays term time.
• Consultation for minor illnesses such as coughs, colds, sore throat, stomach upset, skin rashes, headache, pain, sprains and strains, burns and scalds etc.
• Some basic one-off treatments may be given such as medications, dressings etc.
• Referral when appropriate to other health professionals or helping agencies.
• Information leaflets and advice on many health subjects e.g. diet, smoking, alcohol etc.
• Free pregnancy testing while you wait with information and advice on contraception issues, also  free condoms.
• Information on a variety of clinics available e.g. diabetic, asthma,  family planning.
• Information on emergency contraception (used to be known as the 72hr pill or morning after pill). The sooner this is taken, the more effective it is.
• Advice and information on sexual health issues and clinic times.

Sickness reporting

If you are too unwell to attend lectures or sit exams you should visit the University Nurse on the  first day of your illness. Your visit will them be recorded which could be helpful if you need confirmation of your illness. This is very important especially during exam time.

Medical certificates cannot be issued by the nurse you must see a doctor.

Emergency Care

Ambulance service (emergency only) - contact the SID desk in library during opening hours.  Out of hours phone 999 and tell security staff.

NB. The hospital service should not be used for routine care, treatment or advice.
