Being Well at Wolfson

For confidential listening and advice students can speak to any member of the College welfare team made up of the Welfare Officers, Peer Supporters, College Nurse, Student Support & Engagement Officer, Academic Registrar, and Senior Tutor.

College Nurse

Kerry Minton, the College Nurse, runs a clinic from Wolfson, which students can access by emailing her at pml.wolfsonnurse@nhs.net. She can provide all students with practical medical advice and support assessing and dealing with minor ailments and injuries, discussing problems and responding to medical emergencies while on duty.

If you wish to book an appointment, please contact Kerry. Please note that appointments will be held remotely on Teams in the first instance. 


Welfare Officers

If you are experiencing a welfare problem please email the Welfare Officers at welfare@wolfson.ox.ac.uk and they will get back to you as soon as they can. Our Welfare Officers are trained in medical first aid, mental health and listening skills but they are not medical professionals or counsellors. The College cannot guarantee 24/7 availability and if you have an emergency, please contact the Lodge on 01865 274100.
