Ooh Matron!
This campaign was started by the 2006/07 BGSU Welfare team, and is being continued by the current team. Before 2001, BG employed a nurse on campus for the benefit of the students. The Ooh Matron Campaign aimed to have a nurse reinstated, as this will be of benefit to many students, particularly those who are on placement frequently and so are unable to make surgery hours.
Thanks to the work of the 2006/07 Welfare team, and the support of the student body, we are hoping to be able to trial this service before Christmas. It is up to BG students to decide the type of nurse they would prefer to have on campus?
NUS: Free Prescriptions for Students
'Fed up with the endless costs associated with being a student? Feeling the stretch of that £6.50 every time your doctor prescribes you some medicine?
NUS recognise that being a student is costly. New textbooks, hidden course costs, printing credits and library fines can mount up before you even start to think about the debt you're building up on your student loan. Prescription charges are yet another pull on your pocket and discriminate against those students who rely on medicine on a daily or weekly basis.
The Government has announced a recent review into health care costs and NUS wants this review to take into account our longstanding campaign to get free prescriptions, dental care and eye tests for all students.
We believe that the current system of exemptions through an HC1 form is costly, bureaucratic and acts as a deterrent to students accessing healthcare. In fact, it's likely that the administration costs related to the HC1 form are actually higher than the cost of the medicine!
To really make an impact we need as many MPs as possible to sign Early Day Motion (EDM) 921 - Early Day Motions are best thought of as petitions put forward by MPs on specific subjects.'

NUS: Bullying Sucks Campaign
'This year, NUS LGBT and Welfare campaigns have teamed up to raise awareness about bullying in FE and HE - the invisible crisis ruining thousands of students' lives. 63% of respondents to our bullying survey said that they had been bullied, or are being bullied right now.
However, very few colleges or universities have anti-bullying policies which are both accessible and inclusive. Where these do exist, most students don’t even know about them, and they can be difficult to use. This suggests that the problem of bullying is much bigger than is currently reported or recognised by our universities and colleges.
Bullying is a particular problem for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, who make up around 7% of the student population. 6% of all the respondents to the bullying survey said that they had experienced homophobic or transphobic bullying whilst at university or college.'
