Health and Welfare

University Health Service | Nursery | Pastoral Care, Counselling and Advice | Religion

Most students experience few difficulties during their time at Bradford. However, if you do need help or advice, we have an extensive network of welfare services and pastoral care which covers all manner of difficulties and problems. When you register you will receive a booklet giving full details and opening times of all the information and welfare services.

University Health Service

The Health Service provides a confidential and comprehensive service of health care, with access to specialist facilities. You can register with one of the doctors, and make use of the full service.

The Health Service has four doctors (one full-time and three part-time) and friendly support staff. Minor procedures such as cervical smears and simple operations can be undertaken.

Consultations and treatment are strictly confidential. Nothing is disclosed without your permission. But with your agreement, the doctors can work closely with academic staff and the Counselling Service to ensure that you and your studies do not suffer unduly through ill-health or stress.

Nursery

If you have children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years, you can apply for them to have a place at the University's nursery. It is staffed by qualified Nursery Nurses and Nursery Assistants, and has facilities for 69 children in all. The Nursery is situated close to the main campus behind the Halls of Residence on Laisteridge Lane. You can obtain information on charges and facilities from the Nursery Officer-in-Charge on 01274 234866.

Applications for places should be addressed to her too at the University address or via email: g.dekker@bradford.ac.uk.
