Welcome to this edition of the Business School Wellbeing Wednesday Update.\u00a0 We hope you are safe and well.<\/p>\n
Each Wednesday (during term time) we will post a staff blog highlighting wellbeing support that is available to Business School students within the School and from across the university to allow staff to pass on the information to students.<\/p>\n
As Wellbeing encompasses both physical and mental wellbeing we also wanted to highlight some of the measures in place to protect your physical health when you are on campus in the Business School. These help us to keep the campus tidy and make it easier for facilities staff to clean:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Business School has dedicated health and wellbeing support for our students:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They are available to provide support for students all year round.\u00a0 They can be contacted via\u00a0NUBS.Wellbeing@newcastle.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Each Wednesday (during term time) we will send you an email highlighting wellbeing support that is available to Business School students within the School and from across the university.
