This winter, we're running a social media campaign about #WinterWellbeing. The campaign includes stuff about physical and mental health, as well as practical tips for surviving the cold and dark winter months.
We'd love to hear your best tips for staying happy and healthy in the winter. Share them with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Tumblr using #WinterWellbeing and tagging us @connaughthall. We'll repost / retweet our favourite tip from the Hall's official social media accounts.
Here' our collection so far on Tumblr: http://connaughthall.tumblr.com/tagged/WinterWellbeing

If you are unwell
As the 'flu season approaches, and coughs & colds become more common, here are some reminders about how to get help if you're unwell.
FIRST AID
If you need a first aider in Hall (or help of any kind), always ask at reception; don't rely on text messages, emails, or knocking on a first aider's door. There is always someone on duty in the Hall, 24 hours every day, and reception will be able to contact the right person for you.

URGENT HEALTHCARE
We have a poster outlining how to get urgent medical care in London using the National Health Service. The best first point of contact for health advice is NHS 111 (just call 111 from any telephone) or the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/symptom-checker/.

MENINGITIS
First-year university students are a high risk group for contracting meningitis ? a serious infectious disease. Be aware of the symptoms and signs of meningitis, and seek urgent medical help if you?re worried.

YES, I'M A DOCTOR
But I cannot offer medical consultations in hall to residents. This post explains why - http://connaughthall.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/medical-problems-in-hall.html.
