About the Wellbeing Clinic
The Wellbeing Clinic is a pioneering initiative by Abertay University designed to enhance the wellbeing of staff and students 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.
Due to overwhelming demand, we have paused new bookings for the Clinic.
However, we plan to increase capacity for the Clinic when it opens for phase two in October 2025. We also look forward to expanding access to the Wellbeing Clinic to include members of the public during this phase.
Our Mission
-
Enhance active citizenship: Demonstrate Abertay’s commitment to active citizenship by engaging with businesses, individuals, and voluntary organisations.
-
Real-world experience: Provide our students with opportunities to apply programme-specific skills in live environments, bolstering their employability.
-
