The Step Up & Join In Health & Exercise Referral programme is to encourage UCD students to choose EXERCISE as a FORM of MEDICINE here in UCD. UCD Sport in partnership with UCD Student Health Centre is introducing the Step Up & Join In Health & Exercise Referral programme by focusing on UCD students who want to do the right thing but don't know how to start. This programme can be used as the stepping stone to joining a UCD Get in Gear programme but is not limited to this option.

The programme is run in liaison with the medical practitioners and nurses in the UCD Student Health Centre, overseen by Dr Sandra Tighe, Director of Student Health and UCD Sport, under the guidance of Carmel Kissane, UCD Sports Education Officer.

The medical practitioner/nurse will refer suitable students to Carmel Kissane for a consultation where the student will be encouraged and advised to Step Up & Join In on a UCD Get in Gear programme or another form of exercise. The Step Up & Join In Health & Exercise Referral programme may help the quality of life for the student here at UCD.
