First Aid Posters

First aid posters are displayed in all University buildings.  The posters in common areas give contact details only for the local Campus Security as they can provide first aid assistance at all times.  Encouraging use of the SafeZone app to contact Security should also help to minimise potential delays.

If Faculties and Directorates have their own first aiders and wish to create and display their own posters in local areas, please select the relevant poster from the template list.
