First aid boxes contain bandages, wound dressings, sterile eye pads, plasters and other items to help with minor injuries. No medication, such as paracetamol, is kept in the first aid box.
If you have suffered a minor injury, you can find first aid boxes in any of the Student Support Centres.
To find out where your nearest first aid box is in your accommodation, please refer to your Residence Guide.
