RECEPTION FACILITIES (changed at the beginning of November 2024)
The reception facilities are located at the old Department of Pediatrics at Oulu University hospital, building part LA. The entrance is LA, from where you head to the right through two glass doors along the corridor to the former pediatric outpatient clinic in the waiting hall L15.
It’s not needed to sign in after arriving in the clinic; a study nurse will pick you up from the waiting room. A study visit is free of charge.
If you arrive directly to the sampling, you can navigate from the LA door directly to the corridor behind the glass doors visible at the back of the waiting hall at the entrance. The sampling room is located in the corridor, right after the elevators.
ARRIVAL IN THE CLINIC
When coming to a policlinic with your child, bring:
- Child health clinic card
- Nutritional research forms (mailed to some DIPP participants in advance)
- TEDDY-book, if the child is a TEDDY study subject
- DIPP-booklet, if the child is a DIPP study subject
If the booked appointment is not suitable for you or your child catches a feverish infection (or for example diarrhea or chickenpox) before policlinic visit, be kind and contact the study nurse. Chickenpox is an easily catching disease and it may be dangerous for other children in the department.
The study nurse is most likely available from Mon – Thu 08.00 – 15.00 and Fri 8.00 – 13.00 at phone number +358 50 408 7109.
When taking blood samples, we use numbing cream. It reduces the pain caused by sampling.
TRANSPORTATION

PARKING
There are limited amount of parking spaces available near the LA entrance. Paid parking spaces can also be found in the new hospital’s parking garage “Kuuraparkki” and behind Dentopolis. Due to construction work in the hospital area, we ask that you reserve some time to find a parking space.
CAFETERIA
The nearest cafeteria (Neilikka) is located in the N part of the old hospital.
