PAM Assist is an external and independent service, free and confidential, offered to all staff at the University of Glasgow, which can be contacted on 0800 882 4102.

There is advice for both staff and students on this page which we hope you will use. 

We have set up an online resource for everyone to share ideas, tips or stories to provide practical advice and help keep up morale. These can cover anything from suggestions on home-working to entertaining kids, to home-based hobbies. If you would like to contribute to this page, please either email IHW admin or submit via our online suggestion box.

Additionally, UofG Sport has put up lots of tips and links to workouts.
