Ambulance


If you need an ambulance, you should dial 999 and:

  • state the name of the building where the ambulance is required, as well as the floor and room number
  • if the person requiring treatment is outdoors, state the location on campus
  • state the number of people involved
  • telephone the security control room and inform them that an ambulance has been called and where it is expected to arrive
  • go to the scene of the incident and confirm that an ambulance has been called.

A security officer will normally attend to assist in guiding the ambulance staff to the location of the casualty, or ensure that there is someone at the entrance of the building to guide the ambulance staff. Students living in halls of residence who require first aid may also contact a warden for assistance.
