I have a very serious injury or illness, how do I get help?

In the event of an accident or serious emergency:

  • on campus (except Bath, Hartpury or Swindon), diall 9999 from an internal telephone or 0117 328 9999 from a mobile or external telephone
  • off campus dial 999 to reach the (free) UK public emergency number.

You will be asked if you require an ambulance, the police or fire brigade. Be ready to give your name and address and nature of the emergency.

If you are not seriously injured, you are expected to make your own way to a hospital emergency department at your local hospital.
