Drop-In Sessions

The SSO holds student drop-in sessions every Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30pm-1:30pm

Please either visit office 20, fourth floor of the Dental Hospital or email dental.sso@qmul.ac.uk at the time of the drop-in and a member of the SSO will call you on Teams within the drop-in hour.

Drop-ins are short initial meetings (about 10-15 minutes long) with the Student Support Officer.

The Student Support Drop-In sessions are for students who may not have booked an appointment but feel on the day that they could benefit from speaking to a member of the team.

They are run on a first come, first served basis and can fill up quickly, so please aim to arrive for the start of the session.

A few reasons you might attend drop in:

They can be a quick way to get an answer to a question or to get support
To get further information about our services
To be signposted to a different team
To make initial contact for a longer meeting.

If you cannot make any of the drop-in times, please get in touch as we can make other arrangements for you to speak to us (including phone and video call appointments) outside of these times.

  On Mysis, there are contact details for your next of kin. If we were concerned that you had gone missing and could not get hold of you, this would be the default person we would contact next. Some students do not want us to contact their next of kin, for various reasons. If you would prefer the SSO to contact someone else, please use this form to let us know who. https://forms.office.com/r/JeqUG4Sr1q Information submitted here will be held confidentially in the Student Support Office. If you do not feel comfortable completing the form, please email details of a preferred contact to the student support administrators at dental.sso@qmul.ac.uk or Rebecca Hunter at rebecca.hunter@qmul.ac.uk.
