Your chance to get informed and feel confident
We're excited to continue LET'S TALK, a growing series of drop-in events designed to equip you with practical knowledge for life in halls and beyond. Each session focuses on a key topic that matters to you: your wellbeing, your experience in halls, and your life at university and beyond.
Our next event in the series is all about first aid.
What to expect
First aid isn't just about emergencies, it's about having the confidence to act quickly and safely if something goes wrong. This session brings together trained professionals and University support teams who will walk you through essential first aid skills in a friendly and informal environment.
At this session, you'll have the chance to meet and speak directly with:
- University of Southampton Campus Safety Learn more about what to do in an on-campus emergency, how to report incidents, and how Campus Safety supports students 24/7.
- Res Life Cycle team Get practical advice on navigating life in halls, including how to handle unexpected situations, where to go for help, and how to stay informed throughout your time in residences.
These teams will be on hand throughout the session to offer guidance, answer questions, and share tips tailored specifically to students living in halls.
Why you should come along
Whether you're new to halls or returning for another year, this is a great opportunity to:
- Learn essential first aid skills that can make a real difference
- Build confidence in responding to unexpected situations
- Get expert advice in a relaxed, pressure-free environment
- Understand what support is available to you on campus
- Ask questions you might not normally have the chance to ask
Knowing even the basics can help you stay calm and prepared.
Drop in, say 'Hello', and get informed
There's no presentation, no pressure, and no need to stay for the whole session. Just pop in, chat to the experts, and pick up some practical tips.
And the best bit? You can attend the sessions that feel most relevant to you.
We look forward to seeing you there and kicking off the LET'S TALK series together.
