Occupational Health team
For a confidential wellbeing chat during these times, you can email occupationalhealth@leeds.ac.uk to arrange to speak remotely to an Occupational Health Practitioner, available Monday to Friday during office hours. These specialist practitioners are all nurses with extensive experience.
In additional the Staff Counselling and Psychological Support service is currently set up to provide advice, information and counselling by email, phone and the secure platform Zoom. Please do get in touch by email at staffcounselling@leeds.ac.uk or phone 0113 3433694 and leave a message.
Opening times
Our normal hours are 09:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday.
Appointments
Appointments are usually made via the Occupational Health Referral process, however if you have any questions or would like to discuss a matter with us, please get in touch with us.
All consultations are by appointment as we do not offer a 'walk-in' service or a service for first aid or emergency medical assistance.
If you or someone else is in need of urgent medical assistance please seek the help of a first aider in the area.
If there is an emergency please contact Security Services on telephone number 0113 34 32222 who will assist you in contacting and guiding the relevant emergency services to attend your specific location on campus.

If you have any concerns about being able to attend your appointment please contact Occupational Health on 0113 343 2997 ext 32997 or email occupationalhealth@leeds.ac.uk and ask to speak to an Occupational Practitioner who will be able to advise further.

If you require this please ring the department on 0113 343 2997 ext 32997 or email occupationalhealth@leeds.ac.uk who will give you further instructions.
