The Welfare Team
 

Please don't suffer in silence - the welfare team is a brilliant port of call especially if you're not sure where to go for help. Also, bullying and workplace discrimination is an unacceptable occurrence, one which Galenicals take very seriously. If you ever experience hostility or abuse as a result of your race, gender, sexuality or appearance, please do flag it up and we can highlight the issue (anonymously if you wish).

Bristol/Faculty Health Services

It is a well-known fact that doctors are one of the most likely groups of people to get ill, due to their hesitancy in recognising the problem and getting the appropriate treatment. It's worth registering with the Student Health Service in year 1 as they are familiar with student problems! The faculty also has a friendly team available to assist you through medical school.
