University Occupational Health Service
The University Occupational Health Service website is an excellent source of information for a vast array of health related issues. These range from advice to avoid injury when using your computer (DSE assessments), through to immunisations for work related travel and activities.
They also have a dedicated section on Mental Health and Well-Being with sections on how to cope with problems related to bullying, harassment, depression, stress, alcohol and drugs. Advice is also available regarding sleep and insomnia, stopping smoking, eating a healthy diet and enjoying your social life.
A confidential counselling service is also available and staff experiencing work-related problems can make an appointment by either emailing the occupational health service or calling them on 01865 282676.
