Staff health and wellbeing resources
As part of the School of Medicine family, we recognise our staff need to be supported in all aspects of wellbeing in order to grow and flourish at work. The University is committed to ensuring that staff have a safe, healthy and enjoyable place to work, including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), offering a range of services including counselling.
If you have any wellbeing issues or questions about support available, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Line Manager, a preferred colleague at the School, or the Wellbeing team to learn more about the many programmes and resources available.
Directing students to wellbeing resources
Support is available for students when they need it. Know where to direct them so they can access the resources available and contact the team that is best placed to offer help.
Wellbeing Support
The School has its own dedicated Wellbeing team that understands the unique experience of studing on the MBChB programme. They provide individual appointments, support over the phone or by email, and are on hand at important times such as during the assessment season or on results day. They also run wellbeing focused events and activities throughout the academic year.
