Contacting First Aid Responders in your area
In the event of a First-Aid emergency, First Aid Responders in your building/area are the first point of call.
Where a First Aid Responder is not available in your building/area, a staff member who is currently trained in Emergency First-Aid or if no such staff member is available, an Occupational Health Advisor may be called upon.
Remember:
There is an emergency first-aid kit and an automated external defibrillator (AED) available at the porter’s desk / reception area in all main campus buildings.
Injured/unwell students can attend their local Student Health Centre during term-time.
Your local Occupational Health Advisor is also available to provide first-aid advice and/or treatment.
