RECEPTION FACILITIES (changed 19.5.2025)
The reception is located at the section N of the old building at the Oulu University Hospital. The entrance is through door N, from where you immediately head to the right through a glass door leading to the pediatric diabetes research facilities. See the exact location of the entrance on the map at the bottom of this page.
When you arrive for your appointment, no separate check-in is required. The study nurse will call you by name from the waiting area. The study visit is free of charge.
If you are coming directly for sampling, you can head left from the diabetes research waiting area, near the sampling room 10.
ARRIVAL IN THE CLINIC
When you are coming to a study with your child, bring:
- Child health clinic card
- Study forms (mailed to some DIPP participants in advance)
- For the fluency of the visit, we hope that you would fill out the forms at home in advance.
- DIPP-booklet, if the child is a DIPP study subject.
- FINT1DAS-screening: please remember to bring the completed and signed consent form (the study group’s copy), if you have not returned it by other means.
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.
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.

PARKING
There are limited amount of parking spaces available near the N 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 section of the old hospital.
