Calling for an ambulance
First aid and emergency assistance
What to do if someone requires first aid
-
Call for a First Aider: each school/ service has its own way of calling first aiders - look out for information and posters on how to do this in your area.
-
If an ambulance is needed, call 999* first so they can help you and the casualty immediately. (*Dial 9 for an outside line first if you’re calling from an internal University landline.)
-
Then tell Security you’ve called for an ambulance by calling 0113 34 32222* (ext 32222) so they can assist and direct the ambulance to you through our complex campus.
For more information speak to your Health and Safety Manager or email safety@leeds.ac.uk
If you need a defibrillator
The University has a network of defibrillators across campus – see the defibrillator map. Anyone can use a defibrillator – the machine provides step-by-step instructions. This useful video by St John Ambulance gives you more details.
