Thursday 22nd | 7:30pm | Lancaster University | George Fox LT1

The Learning Zone and Library
Over the next term, learning environments like the Library and the Learning Zone are likely to be in high demand with the onset of the exam period and deadlines all round.
To help make life easier for everyone, respect the Library and Learning Zone as learning environments by bearing in mind how stressful this period already is and that what might not be noisy or inappropriate to you may be to someone else.
NHS 111
NHS 111 is a new service being introduced in Lancashire and around the country to make it easier for you to access local NHS healthcare services. If you have a medical problem you can now call 111 for free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, when you need help quickly. You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation. The original 999 emergency number still exists but is to be kept for life threatening emergencies only. For more information check out nhs.uk/111
