Need Urgent Help or Support?

If you are very distressed, including experiencing despair, seek help now. Could you call a family member, a friend or a neighbour? If not, there are plenty of other options:

If you need urgent medical or mental health help
In the first instance, call your GP. They will know where to get you the specialist help you need. If your GP is closed, their answerphone will direct you to the right place or you can call NHS 111. Use 111 if you urgently need medical help or advice but it is not a life-threatening situation.

For life-threatening situations, call 999 or contact University security if you are in a University facility on 666 from a landline or 01225 383999 from a mobile.
