Doctors

A family doctor, or physician, is commonly referred to as a GP (General Practitioner) in Ireland. 

The Maynooth University Student Health Centre has a GP who is available during regular university office hours. A mental health nurse and general nurses are also available for non-emergency medical care.

All medical issues are handled by the MU Student Health Service.  You will find specific information for international students on this page.  

Appointments with the Student Health Service take place Monday to Friday during university office hours.

Outside of this period, KDOC can provide emergency GP assistance from 5.30pm until 8.00am on weekdays and 24-hour service at weekends and bank holidays.

Telephone 045848701 to book an appointment at one of their two locations: Shackleton Road, Celbridge, or Vista Primary Care Campus, Naas.  

There will be a fee associated with this service for students without an European health insurance card. For students with a EHIC it is a free service.

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals.  Pharmacies in Ireland provide meeting rooms for private consultations with a pharmacist. You can request to see a pharmacist in their private meeting room; an appointment is not unusually required. They can offer advice on minor illnesses or advise you if you need to see a GP.  Further information on their services is available here

All non-EEA students are required to provide evidence that they have purchased private medical insurance sourced in Ireland and that they maintained private medical insurance for the previous registration period at your second and subsequent Immigration registration.
