Health and welfare

We take the health and welfare of our students seriously. The following contact information has been compiled for current students, though the NHS details apply to all members of the College.

During office hours, help and advice can usually be obtained from a member of the Tutorial Office. The College also has a Nurse and a college-based counselling service, which you can find details of through Clare Hall’s Intranet.
