UNS offers a confidential service, which provides support and advice, treatment of minor illnesses and minor injuries, contraceptive advice including free condoms and access to emergency contraception.
University Nursing Service (UNS) remains open during academic term time but is running an altered service at present due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please call UNS on 01227 823503 where the nurse will be able to offer a telephone consultation, signpost you to the most appropriate service or if applicable, offer you an appointment. The unit is running with a closed door at present so all access is via the telephone.
