Hi, We don't have a health service, but do have a 'first-aid' or rest-room in each of our main teaching buildings. We have provided a student with their own key to use these rooms as required. It's not frequently used by the student, and has not so far interfered with the (under-)use of these facilities. Good luck, Catriona Catriona Mowat Disability Adviser Student Information & Support Service University of Stirling Stirling FK9 4LA Tel: (01786) 467080 Fax: (01786) 466806 -----Original Message----- From: Anne Berquier [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 14 September 2004 23:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Advice needed re student with ME We have a health service on campus with GP's, psychiatrists, and nurses. Within the service, they have 4 beds separated by curtains where students can go and lie down if they need to while on campus. The women's area in the student union also have very comfortable couches and coffee-making facilities. I am not sure of the exact figures but I get frequent requests for this and I believe that both facilities are widely used by students with disabilities. If you have similar services on your campus, perhaps you could approach them. We have been lobbying for space for a rest room for a great number of years but space is at such a premium that we have been totally unsuccessful to date.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Anna Malone Sent: Wednesday, 15 September 2004 2:46 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Advice needed re student with ME One of our students who has ME has asked if we can provide somewhere within the University for him to lie down when he becomes very fatigued. We do not currently have this sort of facility available at the University. I am sure that this is a request that disability officers must come across quite regularly - please can disability officers from other Universities let me know if they have encountered similar situations and if they have been able to provide this sort of facility? I will be very grateful for any information/advice, Kind Regards, Anna Anna Malone Trainee Disability Adviser Disability Support Office University of Manchester LG27 John Owens Building Oxford Road Manchester M13 9PL Tel - 0161-275-8523 Fax - 0161-275-7018 Minicom - 0161-275-2794 Text - 07899 663512 / 07899 658790 -- The University of Stirling is a university established in Scotland by charter at Stirling, FK9 4LA.
