The MBChB programme has dedicated Student Support and Wellbeing team and a bespoke Student Pastoral Support (SPS) service to support you with your welfare. 

SPS tutors offer support with a wide range of challenges you may face, including: 

  • personal or family issues.
  • physical health or mental health issues.
  • disability support.
  • advice regarding mitigating circumstances for assessments.
  • financial support, including applications to the Hardship Fund and much more.

SPS tutors will listen to your concerns, discuss your options and ensure you are connected to appropriate support from programme and University services. Most students use the SPS service at some point during their time on the programme, so SPS tutors have vast experience helping students cope with difficult situations.

Everyone needs help at times. Seeking help is a sign of strength and insight, so please let us know if you need support by either emailing or calling us using the details below.
