5. HEALTH AND SAFETY 5.1 REPORTING ACCIDENTS It is a legal requirement for an accident report form (available from the Porters’ Lodge) to be completed after any accident. It is your responsibility to ensure that this is done, although if one of the Porters has been involved they will write the report. 5.2 THE COLLEGE NURSE AND HER SURGERY The College Nurse (Mrs Diana Lloyd) will treat minor ailments, do dressings, and give general advice on medical problems. She is available in the Surgery on B staircase. You are advised to call on her services if you are ill, however trivial the problem may seem. There is no charge. The Nurse is usually available between the hours of 9.30 am and 11.30 am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 10.00 am and 12.00 pm on Thursday, and on Saturday by appointment (email: nurse@sel.cam.ac.uk). These times are subject to change; check the notice in the Porters’ Lodge for up-to-date information. Anyone needing to consult the Nurse on an urgent matter outside surgery hours should contact her at home via the Porters’ Lodge, consult their GP, or go to the Accident and Emergency department at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. In the event of an emergency, please contact the Porters’ Lodge or dial 999 for an ambulance. The Porters must always be informed if an ambulance is called. If you experience a medical emergency which requires you get to Addenbrooke’s but does not justify the calling of an ambulance, the JCR will, within certain limitations, pay your taxi fare to and from the hospital. This does not apply in the case of pre-arranged appointments, or if there is other suitable transport available. (NB: The Uni4 bus service, partly funded by the University, which runs from Madingley Road Park and Ride to Addenbrooke's Hospital Bus Station, via Grange and West Roads, only costs 80p if you show your University Card.) If you wish to make a claim, you should obtain a signed receipt from the taxi driver that gives the date and time of travel and the destination and starting place. Then write your own name on the receipt and place it in the JCR Treasurer’s pigeonhole. 5.3 REGISTERING WITH A GP AND DENTIST All students have to be registered with a local GP. There are various reasons for this, but it is principally so that immediate medical treatment or assessment is available to you if you are unwell at the time of the examinations. Registering may involve a routine medical check. A list of local doctors is given in Appendix 3. You are required to register with a doctor within a fortnight of arriving in Cambridge, and you must inform the Tutorial Office of the doctor’s name. If there are particular reasons why this presents a problem in your case, you should discuss this in confidence with your Tutor without delay. When registering, you should note the surgery hours and arrangements for your general practitioner. The University Dental Service This is established at 3 Trumpington Street (Tel: 01223 332860) and offers routine and emergency dental treatment to students under the regulations for the National Health Service (emergency treatment may also be obtained from the Casualty Department at Addenbrooke’s Hospital). The University Dental Service is open daily from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm and from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm Monday to Thursday, 9.00 am to 1.00 pm and 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm on Friday. If you require routine treatment you should make an appointment as early in the term as possible. The College recommends all undergraduate and graduate students to register with this service. See their website for further information: www.dental.cam.ac.uk. S Selwyn College Undergraduate Student Guide 2013-14 31
5.4 LOCAL SOURCES OF SUPPORT AND HELP If at any time you feel that you would like help or encouragement, it is available. Talking things over with your Tutor, the Chaplain, or another senior member of the College can help to find a solution; but should problems arise for which further professional counselling is required, you can consult your General Practitioner or the University Counselling Service. You can do this without telling your Tutor, but for a variety of reasons (in particular that your general progress or your examinations may be affected) it is usually wise to consult him or her as well. However if you do consult any of these outside services there will be no reference back to your Tutor or your parents without your consent, and you can rest assured that any confidences will be respected. The University Counselling Service The Service is staffed by full-time and part-time professional counsellors and is available to all students who have a personal or emotional problem which they wish to discuss. The Counselling Service is located at 2-3 Bene’t Place, Lensfield Road, and is open from 9.00 am to 5.30 pm on Monday and Wednesday, 9.00 am to 5.00 pm on Friday, and 9.00 am to 7.30 pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Their website gives a lot of useful information and advice (www.counselling.cam.ac.uk). It also explains how to make appointments, which can be done online (the preferred method) or by telephone, 01223 (3)32865. CUSU Student Advice Service The Student Advice Service offers free, confidential and independent support to all Cambridge University students. It is based at CUSU (Old Examinations Halls, New Museums Site) and at the Graduate Union (17 Mill Lane) and can be contacted by email: advice@studentadvice.cam.ac.uk, or phone: 01223 746999. See also: www.studentadvice.cam.ac.uk. The Samaritans Sympathetic and helpful people are available twenty-four hours a day at the Samaritans Office in Cambridge to help those in despair or tempted to commit suicide. The office is open to callers at 4 Emmanuel Road, from 10.30 am to 10.00 pm every day including weekends. Help may be obtained by telephone (01223 364455 or 08457 909090) at any time, day or night. Linkline This is a student Samaritan-type organization. It operates a telephone service from 7.00 pm to 7.00 am every night of Full Term (Tel: 01223 744444; Skype: cambridge.linkline) from 21 Jesus Lane, and has students on the premises. Other Medical Services - Expeditions Abroad The Occupational Health Service at Fenners offers advice based on considerable experience to those going abroad during the Long Vacation on expeditions etc. It is advisable to book an appointment early in the year. 5.5 STDS The College is concerned to ensure that all students are aware of the serious increase of sexually transmitted diseases in the UK. Any undergraduate who believes that he or she may have contracted an STD is advised to go for a check-up at Clinic 1A at Addenbrooke’s without delay (see www.cuh.org.uk/addenbrookes/patients/outpatients/clinics/clinic_1a.html). Both the Nurse and the Chaplain are available to give confidential advice on this subject, as are the JCR Welfare Officers. 32 Selwyn College Undergraduate Student Guide 2013-14
