Health and Wellbeing service
The Health and Wellbeing service, includes Catriona Keane, Head of Student Wellbeing, who is also a counsellor. Catriona is available for intake assessment, wellbeing appointments, advice, and support appointments.
We have a college Nurse, Taryn Rothwell who has a clinic in College during term time. Taryn is available to help with minor illnesses and injuries. If more specialised help or treatment is required, she will help refer you or point you in the right direction whether via your GP, the University Counselling Service or other local service.
Both Catriona and Taryn work closely with the wider College Welfare Team which consists of the Senior Tutor, the Tutors, the Tutorial Office Staff, the College Chaplain, and the Head Porter to ensure that a full programme of wellbeing support is available for students in College, and to advise and arrange any appropriate medical referrals.
