UBC First Aid

Last updated: October 12, 2021

Campaign overview

In 2020, Campus Security joined Safety & Risk Services (SRS). As part of becoming an integrated team and elevating the profile for Campus Security, part of that journey includes taking on 24/7 First Aid responsibilities for students, faculty, staff and visitors. This change matches best practice across Canada and improves customer service across the university by bringing related services under one unit.

We would like your help with sharing this information to inform the campus community that First Aid is provided by UBC Campus Security.
