UCC Med Day takes place on 12th September with all proceeds going directly to Stroke Services at Cork University Hospital (CUH), the Cork Stroke Support Group (CSSG), located at St Finbarr’s Hospital, and Surgeon Noonan.

Now entering its second year, the inaugural UCC Med Day took place on 13th April 2019. The event is an annual fundraiser modelled on the Med Days run by students of UCD and Trinity College, which each year raise vital funds for the college’s charity of choice. Coordinated and managed entirely by members of the UCC Medical Society, UCC’s Med Day is based on the same ethos and will see UCC students volunteering their time for these very worthy causes.
