FOI Response, eating disorders (pdf)

The information provided is the available data that we capture concerning eating disorder presentations. Please note that numbers of 5 or less have been removed to protect the identity of individuals.

Important notes:

• Data provided relates to cases where eating disorders were the primary cause for accessing counselling
• It is not possible to provide an age breakdown/profile for cases as our reporting system does not capture information in this way
• Our reporting year runs from 1st August to 31st July

The following information is provided to contextualise the data presented:

• In 2019-20 1309 registrations* were received from ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ wishing to access counselling via the Student Counselling and Mental Health Advice Service.
• In 2020-21 1445 registrations* were received from ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ wishing to access counselling via the Student Counselling and Mental Health Advice Service.

*Note: Not all of those who register go on to confirm/attend an appointment

The request

1. Since 2013, how many ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ from your medical school completed their medical elective outside of the UK each year?
2. What percentage did ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ who completed an elective abroad comprise of your total cohort for each year?
3. Which countries ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ who completed their foreign electives abroad travelled to in each year
4. Any feedback/ reflective work that ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ provided to your medical school following their elective abroad 

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-24-005, 19 January 2024

Please see the linked spreadsheet for responses to Items 1 – 3 of the request: IMPFOI-24-005, Medical Elective Data (xlsx)

For item 4: Students must submit an Elective Attendance report at the end of their elective which has been signed off by their Elective Supervisor. In this report the supervisor is asked to rate the performance of the student using grade descriptors, there is also a box for comments. This form is mandatory. Students may also fill in a summary and long report of their elective. The summary report asks for basic information about the student’s elective, for example how they organised it, how much it cost, what specialty/department area the student worked in etc. The long part of the report is a more reflective piece and is an opportunity for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to write about the experiences gained and what they learned, they can include pictures. At present the summary and long reports are not mandatory unless ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have received a travel award, in which case they need to fill in these two reports. Students can fill them in voluntarily.

The request

The request

1. how many ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ per year received support from the SVLOs over the last five years on record
2. how many days, months, years, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ who received help from the university's SVLOs had to wait for help from said service over the last five years on record

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-23-071, 9 March 2023

Imperial does not hold the data to answer the second question, but the SVLO service requirement is to  respond to every contact within two working days. There is no waiting list. A meeting with an SVLO is arranged as soon after contact as is convenient for the student and SVLO, usually within a week of first contact.

The request

Does your university request permission from a student to contact an individual, nominated by a student, if they have concerns for their mental health or welfare when a student registers at the university? If yes, please provide figures on how many ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ opted in or out of this consent for the last five years, or from when the policy was implemented. Please break these figures up by academic year, or year, depending on how you hold the data

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-23-123, 29 March 2023

During the enrolment process, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ are asked to provide details of an emergency contact for Imperial to use in the instance there is concern for their life or the life of others. They are also asked to provide consent on an opt-in basis that gives Imperial permission to use the emergency contact details if there are serious concerns about the student’s wellbeing. Figures are available from the 2020/21 academic year when this permission was first sought:

The request

1. How many ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ accessed support from your university counselling service in 2021/22?

The average waiting time from registration to an initial meeting with the Counselling Service in 2021/22 was 17 working days (note this excludes weekends). Please note that the waiting time figures reflect student choice as well as service availability.

For the given period there was also an exchange with Tsinghua University as part of the (now withdrawn from new entry) MSc Global Innovation Design, a collaborative masters degree taught jointly with the Royal College of Art. The administration for this activity was undertaken by the RCA, therefore, Imperial does not hold information on the number of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ hosted in London.

Imperial does not provide financial support to incoming exchange ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, however, tuition fees are waived.

2. Can you also provide the total number of undergraduate ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ who were due to receive/did receive an award this summer (the total cohort of graduating undergraduate ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½).
3. I’m aware some graduating undergraduate ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ will have not received all of their marks but will have enough marks to receive a final degree classification and others may have a confirmed degree award but no classification. Please can you provide the figures for these two groups.

Imperial's response, IMPFOI-23-452, 11 September 2023

1. None
2. 3065 
3.  Imperial decided to give provisional degree classifications wherever possible: 42 final year undergraduate ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ were given a provisional degree classification because they had some marks missing due to the marking and assessment boycott. The University did not award any ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ without any degree classification.
