student health and wellbeing group
This group was formed in order to:
- Allow better and more cohesive opportunities to engage with the PCTs and SHA in order to better coordinate health care provision for student populations
- Encourage sharing of best practise and joint development of ideas through focused, local meetings.
This group believes that EMUA's member institutions will benefit from:
- More co-ordinated dealings with the NHS
- Better understanding of NHS commissioning
- Better relationships with local services
- Sharing learning and practice around health issues
- Shared or co-ordinated campaigns between HEIs and local government.
Proposed scheme of work:
- To carry out a mapping exercise about the regional HE student population so that the numbers could be understood at a regional level. This would assist in any discussions with the PCTs and SHA.
- To create a library of relevant resources - please see below.
- Develop a matrix for student health care, identifying the areas of work and relevant strategy documents along with best practice and any opportunities for collaboration.
- To run future meetings as workshops around an identified theme.
