Answer first: open the HSE’s current clinic list, find the county and clinic entry, compare every practical detail with the page you were given, and use the clinic’s current contact route to confirm appointment arrangements. Do not assume an older directory entry is still accurate because the clinic name is unchanged.
Official starting point: HSE sexual health services and clinics.
Five-field comparison
| Field | What to compare | Safe record |
|---|---|---|
| County and place | The county heading, town and facility named by HSE | Exact wording plus access date |
| Clinic identity | Clinic or hospital name, department and any linked clinic site | Do not merge similarly named services |
| Contact route | Phone, email or booking link shown on the current HSE page | Source URL and date checked |
| Address | Full address and any location note | Mark a mismatch for review |
| Appointment information | Only what the HSE page or clinic currently states | Confirm directly before travel |
What the HSE list does not prove
A directory entry does not guarantee a same-day appointment, a particular test, a walk-in place, an opening time or suitability for an individual situation. Those are current service or clinical questions. Use the source as a route to the clinic, not as a promise from STI.ie.
If two pages disagree
- Record both URLs and the date each was checked.
- Prefer the current HSE listing as the directory source, while recognising a linked clinic page may carry newer operational instructions.
- Contact the clinic through the current official route and ask it to confirm the practical detail.
- Do not publish a correction as settled until its source is attributable.
For a wider route map, use the HSE sexual health source finder. Editors maintaining local pages can use the HSE page review checklist.
