Consulting a nurse and making an appointment
You can contact the nurses in person or by phone from Monday to Friday, 8.30 AM to 5 PM. The nurses are available for consultation without an appointment to offer advice and point you in the direction of the most appropriate healthcare professional. You will then need to make an appointment with these healthcare professionals:
• GPs, vaccination;
• Social workers: listening and advice about academic, family, personal, administrative and financial problems.
• Psychiatrist and psychologist: medical and psychological support;
• Specialist practitioners: family planning, nutritionist, addiction counsellor, sex therapist.

The nurse will make an initial assessment before pointing you in the direction of a healthcare professional (either on-site or external) as the case may be, or providing you with information.
Health check-up
The Simpps will send you an invitation to come for a health check-up during your time at university. This check-up is a preventive examination with medical, psychological and well-being components.

• As the case may be, you may be encouraged to consult a healthcare professional or social worker, either on-site or externally.
The check-up lasts for: 30 minutes.
Remember to bring along your health record or record of vaccinations, as well as your glasses (if applicable).
