Human trafficking survey 

 

My name is Sohani Dassanayake and I am a medical student who is currently doing a Medical Ethics, Law And Humanities research project as part of my iBSc. The project is focused on the topic of human trafficking and I am interested in researching what healthcare professionals can do to help the victims of trafficking.

I am seeking the views of medical students, doctors and nurses because I wish to learn more about their knowledge of human trafficking. This will help me to analyse the problems posed by human trafficking and help me to explore strategies that might enable healthcare professionals to better support people who have been trafficked. 

The following survey should take no longer than about 5 minutes to complete. You are not in any way obliged to take part in this research. The data collected in the survey will be anonymised and all information will be kept confidential.

If you have any questions about the survey please contact my supervisor, Dr. Carwyn Rhys Hooper, by email: chooper@sgul.ac.uk

LOST IPHONE

 

I lost my iPhone on Friday night but on Saturday morning the gps said it was at halls.

It’s a gold iPhone se and it had a clear plastic case but with a pink edge around the phone on it.

 

Really desperate for it back as it has priceless pictures on off my late grandma and my late dog, so would really appreciate if anyone has seen it lying around if they would hand it in.

 

Would be willing to offer a small reward (if I’m allowed) of £20 for its return to me.

 

Thank you for your help 

Please email us at sucommunications@sgul.ac.uk if you find it!
