The Writing Lab is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 – 18:00

Before you can make an appointment you will need to register online. Once you have registered an account, login using those details and select the Health Sciences Writing Lab.

Select any available (white) time slots on the schedule and make an appointment with any consultant.

We offer BOTH face-to-face and online consultations. Please select appropriately. We offer online consultations for our distance-based postgraduate students. 

As a guide: for a task analysis session and for documents less than 7 pages, book a 30-60 minutes consultation.

For more than 7 pages, book a 2 hour consultation. Your consultant will spend the first hour reading your document. You will need to log on to the online consultation platform at the start of the second hour.

Maximum document length that we read is 15 pages. Consider booking multiple appointments for more than 15 pages.

It is preferrable that you upload your document onto the WL system by 9:00 on the day of your appointment. 

We are located in the Old Main Building, E Floor, Room 53-46, Groote Schuur Hospital. Follow the directions below to find us:
