44 Your HealtH and Well-BeInG Student Health and Sports The Student Health Centre The services provided by the Student Health Centre (Studenthälsan) deal only with study-related problems and environmental medicine, not medical issues. Many <strong>student</strong>s need support at times during their study period, with problems such as stress, performance anxiety, eating and sleeping disorders or lack of self esteem to mention a few. The Student Health Centre offers individual counselling and group therapy sessions. The centre also works with prevention, encouraging <strong>student</strong>s to stay healthy and thus able to study. The staff consists of nurses, psychologists, counsellors, and a physician. Note: The Student Health Centre is not an emergency ward, medical clinic or hospital. However, since the Swedish Health Care system can be tricky to navigate, you may turn to the Student Health Centre for advice and referrals. If you make an appointment at the Student Health Centre and do not show up or cancel the appointment, you will be charged full price anyway. For opening hours, please consult the Student Health Centre brochure included in your welcoming package or www.sh.uu.se.
