All our accommodation is fully equipped with fire alarm systems and fire fighting equipment for your safety. You should play an active role in ensuring that fire alarms and equipment are not tampered with, abused, and that you are not put in any unnecessary danger.

You should ensure that you are familiar with the location of the fire exits, fire evacuation notices and equipment, spend a few minutes of your time familiarising yourself with these notices and operational instructions.

In case of illness

Whilst you are studying at Anglia Ruskin, we recommend that you register with a General Practitioner (GP) as soon after your arrival as possible. The Cambridge campus has a Medical Centre and the closest GP practise in Chelmsford is the Rivermead Gate Medical Centre. Other local health services can be found on the NHS website.

If you become ill, you should contact your GP surgery during their opening times, or use the services of NHS Direct and their 24 hour telephone helpline: 0845 4647. If you need an ambulance and paramedic team, dial 999.
