Office for Students - Student mental health: Higher education and NHS joined-up working

The Office for Students have released a report looking at how universities can improve their close working relationship with the NHS to improve the support they give students.

We have been advocating for a more collaborative approach to student care for years, and are glad to see that it might be put into action. This could help ease students into university and prevent later problems, we have long asked universities to work across teams and with external partners to secure students security safety and wellbeing. A great example of this is one of our Founder Member universities, University of Salford who has partnered with other Manchester universities and the NHS to create a hub for students from all the universities to use.
