It is suggested that students undergo a medical examination with a view to preventing or detecting disease. Students with an infectious condition such as HIV or HBV should take every reasonable precaution to ensure that no other person is placed at risk of infection, as advised by their treating doctor. Some courses have clinical activities or practical classes which require a certain level of physical capacity in order to complete the stage of the course. If students have any concerns about their physical capacity to undertake particular activities, which are an inherent requirement of the course, they should contact the relevant School prior to enrolment. Some courses require a prescribed uniform for hospital and clinical activities.
Details are available from the relevant course co-ordinator or administrative officer.
Schools may charge students for expendable materials supplied where the materials are consumed by students to their direct personal benefit or where students may wish to have continuing possession of the materials concerned. Students may be charged deposits for non-consumable items issued for temporary use. Schools may recover the cost of lecture notes and other printed material issued to students, provided that no student is compelled to acquire such notes or materials. Most courses require students to undertake clinical or fieldwork placements. As students are likely to come into contact with vulnerable people, a police security clearance is required for most placements.
