What should I do in a medical emergency?

A medical emergency is a situation in which the health of a person is at high risk of deteriorating rapidly without immediate medical attention. 

For example, a medical emergency could include chest pains, increasing difficulty in breathing, impaired consciousness and any of the signs of a stroke (facial weakness, inability to lift a limb or slurred speech). 

Call ext. 3333 on any University phone or +44 (0)1483 683333 from a mobile. If you are off-campus call 999. 

Our local hospital is the Royal Surrey County Hospital, located just off the Stag Hill campus and opposite Manor Park, provides an accident and emergency (A&E) service.
