Update for Staff and Students

As of 11 February 2010 The National Pandemic Flu Service has closed due to the decline in swine flu cases in the UK. The latest NHS advice is that people showing  symptoms should stay at home and contact their GP.

Be assured the University is monitoring the situation and is working closely with all relevant agencies. Our Pandemic Flu Management team continue to review developments within the UK.
