TeamTeessideAs a University, #TeamTeesside is proud to be supporting the national effort to tackle Coronavirus (Covid-19) and help our university community to stay positive.
Our students Latest news #TeamTeesside Health and wellbeingWhether it is health students volunteering on the front line, providing research expertise and equipment to hospitals, supporting businesses through difficult times, or raising people's spirits through engagement on social media, #TeamTeesside is pulling together and doing all we can to help.
We are all in this together
Many of our final year health students have answered the call from Government and volunteered to go in to practice early to support the NHS and work on the front line during the coronavirus outbreak. Their knowledge and skills are vital at this time and they are providing much-needed extra resource. Read more about why they made this decision and how they feel about the work they are doing.
A total of 94 colleagues from a range of schools and departments volunteered to support our on-site COVID-19 student testing arrangements.
They helped by managing the queuing and registration system, assisting with tests and providing information to students about the process.
Teesside was part of a national testing programme offering free lateral flow tests to students without symptoms, to enable them to make informed decisions about when to travel home for the Christmas break.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered and supported our students, their families and friends by participating in this important work.
