Service Description

A Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) is a safe place to go if you have, or think you may have been raped or sexually assaulted.
It is a free, confidential service. We are here to help 24 hours a day.
Your healthcare needs are our priority. We care for all genders and gender identities aged 14 years and over.

List of Services Available

You will be offered a health check and medication whether you decide to have a forensic examination or not. A forensic examination is a type of medical examination that is carried out to collect evidence after a rape or sexual assault.
We will also look after your psychological needs and a psychological support worker may be present if you wish.
If you need referral to any other services we can arrange this.

Wheelchair Access

Regional Hospital Mullingar is wheelchair accessible.

Before this website came along, we weren’t sure what services were available locally and how to access them. It’s great to now see them all listed in one place with lots of useful information and contact details.
