Ambulance call-outs gradually climbing

East Midlands ambulanceThe number of ambulance call-outs to the University has gradually risen over the last three years, new data shows.

In 2013, a total of 156 ambulances were called onto campus.

A total of 42 evacuations were made from campus blocks in 2013, including Fairfax House, following botched culinary attempts by students.

But this is less than the 136 ambulances called in 2012, and sharply up on the 117 called in 2011.

And according to the figures, there were 408 reported accidents in 2013, with the majority of accidents resulting from “cuts on sharps”.
