The session aims to review Imperial’s expectations for student-supervisors partnership and reflect on the responsibilities and boundaries of supervisors in relation to PGRs health and wellbeing.  The session will cover three themes: Imperial/departmental expectations regarding health and wellbeing, the factors affecting students’ health and wellbeing during their doctoral journey and the strategies supervisors can put in place to support students.
