Hope you all have a productive time but are also taking care of yourself! - Try work in 30 minute time periods, followed by a 5 minute break. - 8 hours of sleep, plenty of fresh air and eating healthy food really helps! - Remember we are all in this together ... Maintaining good mental health is super vital during this period. If you feel like you can’t cope, you can always contact askUWA, your unit coordinators or apply for special consideration if need be. Just remember, the Health and Medical Sciences faculty is here to help you if you need. Lots of love, HSS
