Morning all

At the Health Centre, we have been seeing a number of staff and students with symptoms of a viral gastric illness.  These symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhoea and nausea.  Some people are also experiencing a mild fever and vomiting. 

If you have any of these symptoms please DO NOT come to polytechnic until you are completely well,  because gastric  illnesses  are highly infectious.  Hand hygiene is essential to prevent the spread to others.

If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me.  You can also get health information from Health Line 0800 611 116 or your own GP.

With regards
Tracy Mitchell, Campus Nurse
