College Nurse
If you require any medical/health support or advice, please don't hesitate to see our College Nurse Lynn Cross. She holds a clinic for GTC students in Room G4 on the ground floor of the New Block (next to the Offices Building) during the following hours during term-time (weeks 0-9):
Mondays: 15.15-17.15
Wednesdays: 15.15-17.15
Fridays: 15.15-17.15
You can make an appointment with Lynn via email for the times listed above, or you can just drop in to her room during these hours. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Everything you tell Lynn will remain confidential. She won't pass anything on to anyone else in College without your consent and works in partnership with the College Doctor and the various NHS services.
Pastoral Adviser
The Pastoral Adviser is Professor John Lennox.
Professor John Lennox offers advice, dialogue and support from the standpoint of a person of religious faith - in his case that of a practising Christian - to members of the College's community who may wish to turn to him. He is available equally to those of faith (not just Christian faith) and to those of none, whether students, Fellows, staff or others in our Collegiate family.

GTC Peer Supporters
Our GTC Peer Supporters are students at Green Templeton who are happy to talk with GTC students about anything that is concerning them. Often it can help simply to get things off your chest or to know that someone is willing to listen and take time to understand what's on your mind.
Each of our Peer Supporters has received 30 hours of training by the University Counselling Service. Click here to download a list of GTC Peer Supporters and their contact details
Panel of Senior Advisers
A number of senior members of the College have volunteered to act as additional welfare advisers to students. Students may approach any one of them directly, or may be referred by College staff or officers.
