About the Wellbeing Clinic
The Wellbeing Clinic is a pioneering initiative by Abertay University designed to enhance the wellbeing of our community through practical, research-informed services. Staffed by trained senior students under expert supervision, our clinic offers actionable health assessments akin to a ‘MOT’ service – ensuring you receive timely, expert advice.
Following a successful launch earlier this year, we’re pleased to reopen bookings. For now, the service is available to students only.
The Clinic will continue to run until May 2026, offering monthly appointment slots. Bookings open at the start of each month for appointments in the month ahead, so we recommend booking early to secure your slot.
We’re also expanding access to include members of selected community groups during this phase, and have reached out to those groups directly.
