College Counsellor
Ellie Raikes is Brasenose College Counsellor, her hours in College are as follows (weeks 0-9):
Mondays: 12 noon to 2.00pm
Tuesdays: 1.30pm to 2.30pm
Thursdays: 1.30pm to 2.30pm

Mental health services
A 24/7 mental health helpline has been launched to provide people with mental health advice during the coronavirus pandemic.
Adults: 0800 783 0119 or 01865 904 997
Further mental health services each have a self referral option, therefore you can sign up to as many or little as you feel would help.
In the first instance, I would suggest a self referral to Talking Space as they are able to determine whether you require counselling, CBT or referral to the Adult and Mental Health Team (they seem to have priority, when sending referrals to AMHT and their waiting times are approximately 4-6 weeks for treatment therapies).
Safe Haven is useful if you want out of hours support:
Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday from 6pm until 10pm – if you need support please call ahead using the referral line (open from 5pm, last entry 9pm).
Phone: 01865 903 037
Email:[email protected]
Mind Oxfordshire and Oxfordshire Recovery College have lots of local support programmes centred around mental health. You can access these course by requesting an options session with each service: https://www.oxfordshiremind.org.uk/help/options-session-form/
https://oxfordshirerecoverycollege.org.uk/enrol-as-a-student/
If you simply want someone to talk to then you can call:
• Samaritans for emotional support (open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year) by freephone on 116 123
• CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) for men in the UK who need to talk or find information and support. Call 0800 58 58 58 (5pm–midnight, 365 days a year).
• Elefriends for a supportive online community, a safe place to listen, share and be heard.
We also have a college counsellor called Ellie Raikes who often receives good feedback: “ To make a confidential booking for a 30 minute session with Ellie, please email [email protected]”
If you feel as if you are in a crisis situation:
Dial 999 if your life, or the life of someone you know, is in immediate risk.
Dial 111 if you need medical help quickly, but it’s not an immediate risk, or if it is out-of-hours for your General Practitioner (GP) surgery.
Contact your General Practitioner (GP) if you are experiencing mental health problems and are not known to local mental health services.
University Disability Advisory Service
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, all DAS appointments are currently taking place online (rather than in-person). If you would like to make an appointment or speak to an advisor, please contact us via [email protected]
Accident and Emergency
An A&E department (also known as emergency department or casualty) deals with genuine life-threatening emergencies, such as:
- loss of consciousness
- acute confused state and fits that are not stopping
- chest pain
- breathing difficulties
- severe bleeding that cannot be stopped
- severe allergic reactions
- severe burns or scalds
- stroke
- major trauma such as a road traffic accident
Less severe injuries can be treated in urgent care centres or minor injuries units. A&E is not an alternative to a GP appointment.
If your GP is closed you can go to 111.nhs.uk or call 111, which will direct you to the best local service.
Alternatively, you can visit an NHS urgent treatment or walk-in centre, which will also treat minor illnesses without an appointment.
John Radcliffe Hospital

Open 24 hours
Minor Injuries Unit
Minor Injuries Units (MIUs) are for injuries, such as deep cuts, eye injuries, broken bones, severe sprains, minor head injury, minor burns and scalds. Many people go to Accident and Emergency departments when they could be treated just as well and probably quicker at a Minor Injuries Unit.
In Accident and Emergency staff must give priority to serious and life-threatening conditions, so if you go there with a minor injury you may have to wait longer to be seen. It is better to go to a Minor Injuries Unit if there is one locally.
Please call 111 or the unit directly prior to attending the Minor Injury Unit to arrange an appointment. Upon arrival you will be asked to wait in your car until a clinician is ready to see you. These measures have been implemented due to COVID-19 to reduce contact with other patients and staff.

Smoking Cessation
Talk to your GP
Many people don't realise that their GP can help them quit smoking. Your doctor can do a lot, such as enrolling you in a "stop smoking" clinic, and prescribing nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches and gum, or stop smoking medication such as Champix.
Join your local stop smoking service
Did you know that you're up to 4 times more likely to quit successfully with the help of your local stop smoking service?
https://www.nhs.uk/smokefree/help-and-advice/local-support-services-helplines
or call the Smokefree National Helpline on 0300 123 1044 to speak to a trained adviser.
Find online support
For online support including apps, communities and motivational emails, visit Better Health.
Have an emergency phone number to hand
Keep an emergency number, perhaps for your local stop smoking service or the national helpline.
"We're here on 0300 123 1044 from Monday to Friday 9am to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday 11am to 4pm answering calls from people who are about to have a cigarette and want help not lighting up," says Chris, one of the helpline advisers. "We can talk about why you want to smoke and how to deal with your cravings."
Substance Misuse
Notify your GP in the first instance.
NHS local substance misuse service is Turning Point, based on Manzil Way, Oxford. You can self-refer and be allocated a keyworker via the link: https://www.turning-point.co.uk/contact-us.html
As well as the NHS, there are charities and private drug and alcohol treatment organisations that can help you. Visit the Adfam website to see a list of https://adfam.org.uk/help-for-families/useful-organisations
Some people find support groups like https://ukna.org/ helpful. Your keyworker can tell you where your nearest group is.
Visit the Frank website to https://www.talktofrank.com/get-help/find-support-near-you
If you're having trouble finding the right sort of help, call the Frank drugs helpline on 0300 123 6600. They can talk you through all your options.

Pill checks should be carried out by either the college nurse or practice nurse on an annual basis. Contraceptive pills are issued on a repeat prescription with a six-month maximum dispensing supply. Once you have carried out your annual contraception review, the nurse will issue a six-month pill prescription to your nominated pharmacy. Once this six-month supply runs out, you can request a further six-month supply by emailing the surgery. If you are due your annual contraception check, then this prescription request will be declined and you will be asked to book a nurse consultation.

Over the counter medication is available for this over the counter, if over the counter medication fails, please make a practice nurse appointment for swab testing
Alternative contraception methods
Please book an appointment with the practice nurse, all the doctors and our practice nurse provide advice on all contraception methods and perform the appropriate checks.
For administration of contraception, visit GUM or the college doctors who can offer IUDs, implant fittings and contraceptive injections*
