  3. When you're ill

When you're ill

If you're ill, and are worried you may be contagious, you'll need to self-isolate. This is so others around you are safe and not likely to become infected.

There are many reasons to self-isolate, from stomach bugs, influenza (flu) to COVID-19. If you have questions about what you need to do or how to get support while you are self-isolating, you can contact the student information helpline. Additionally, you'll need to follow the latest NHS guidance

Understanding healthcare and where to get help

When do you see a doctor? What’s a health emergency? What can a pharmacy help you with? The first step to getting the right care is to understand where to go to get the help you need. Find out more about the National Health Service and who to call if you’re ill.

What to do if you're ill

Find out how you can get the help you need when you're ill, especially if you can't leave your accommodation.  

Who to tell when you are ill

Being ill when you're away from home can be a difficult time. Make sure you know what to do and how to inform the University if you're not able to attend.
