Student work environment and health
As a student at the Faculty of Medicine, you are entitled to a safe student work environment.
In the event of an emergency or immediate danger
Always call SOS Alarm in the event of an emergency or immediate danger: 112
You can also call the University’s emergency number: +46 46-222 07 00 (the number can also be found on the back of your LU card).
If you find that there are shortcomings in the student work environment on your course/programme or VFU/VIL* placement that affect your wellbeing and health, we want to know about it. We will then investigate to see whether it can and should be addressed.
*Swedish abbreviations for clinical training placement/practice-integrated learning placement.
