St George’s has its own team of security personnel who provide a 24/7 presence at the main site and at the Halls of Residence. They co-ordinate the security of the building from the Security Control Centre which can be found next to the Hunter Wing reception. St George’s uses a range of security equipment to ensure the safety and security of the buildings and the people inside including CCTV, alarm systems and access control systems.
St George’s is attached to an NHS Trust, and there are a large number of potentially vulnerable people here on the site. We all have to do our best to maintain physical security.
If you require assistance or see something suspicious please contact Security on x0909.
