Wellbeing & Mental Health

At UCL Medical Physics & Biomedical Engineering, we work to support psychological wellbeing of our community: recognising the importance of practicing self-care, showing kindness and managing compassionately. On this page, you'll find resources and information for our staff and students.

Mental Health First Aiders

Our Department has a number of certified Mental Health First Aiders. This means they are available for staff and students to approach as a first port of call when you need some support – or just someone to listen. You can contact any one of them in the list below, at any time.
