Welfare and Health

Lisa Stokes-King, our welfare coordinator,  is available to talk to about any concerns you may have, whether chatting over a cup of tea or pointing you to the many sources of support available to students. Our Chaplain is also available to chat to student about their concerns.

All students are registered with the College Doctors at the King Edward Street at the Northgate Medical Practice. Lincoln also has a College Nurse who operates a surgery during term-time, supervised by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. Porters are always at hand in the Lodge in case of accident or sudden illness.

There is a variety of help for you here. Current students can visit our Welfare and Health page to find out about medical and mental health support offered by the College and externally, including information about:

• what to do in an emergency
• contact information for people you can contact within College if you're having any difficulties or problems, including: peer supporters; welfare reps; LGBTQ+ and Peers of Colour Supporters; the Welfare Co-Ordinator; and Harassment Advisors.
• booking appointments with our College nurse and counsellor
• helpful resources outside of College, including the University's Counselling Service and other supportive resources, Oxford Nightline, Oxford Samaritans, the Student Advice Service, and more.

 

Disability resources

If you have any long term and ongoing condition that impacts your daily life, help is available to you via the University’s Disability Advisory Service, and in College. If you would benefit from support for sensory or mobility impairments, long-term health conditions, specific learning difficulties, autistic spectrum conditions or mental health difficulties, for example, we offer help. Adjustments are made on an individual basis, so we work with you to determine what support is appropriate. This can range from additional time in exams to fitting accommodation with specialist equipment to support your comfort and safety. If you wish to talk to us about the kinds of support available to you if you were to apply to Lincoln College, please contact our Disability Coordinator.
