Website Information 2020-21 Uniforms, Occupational Health and DBS Checks

As part of our application and registration processes, we may need to review your medical history to ensure you will be safe when undertaking the course. We work in partnership with an Occupational Health Service Provider that also supports the NHS, to assist us with this process.

If relevant for your programme, we will contact you by email to ask you to complete a healthcare questionnaire, this will then be reviewed to check your medical and vaccination history. You may need additional vaccinations or immunity checks, or we may need to discuss other aspects of the information you have provided. In these cases, the Occupational Health team will assist you to organise the necessary checks or vaccinations as well as identify any reasonable adjustments that may need to be made.

If this information is requested, you must participate as it is a requirement of entry for your programme.

Uniform

Clinical and healthcare students on some courses are required to wear a uniform during their practice learning experience. You will order your uniform online, directly through the supplier’s website (Alexandra’s). During the first week of the course we will send all registered students on applicable programmes an email that contains a link to the online order form.

This email will also contain: 

  • Fitting guidance: You will receive links to guidance videos on how to measure yourself and information on how the uniforms should fit.
  • Deadline for completion of the order: In order for uniforms to be delivered in time for your first placement, there will be a short time-frame where you can submit your order. 
  • Student Uniform & Professional Behaviour Policy: You will also receive a copy of the University’s policy. It is important that you read this information as it is relevant to your placement.

The online ordering system will be closed on the deadline stated. Your order will be sent to the address inputted into the ordering form as soon as the uniforms have been produced (around 4-6 weeks). The day before the delivery, you will receive an email from Alexandra’s confirming the return/exchange process if needed. Please note that they will not receive any returns after the deadline stated. Please note for some clinical courses, the uniforms will be delivered to the University for distribution before your placement or clinical skills sessions commence.

Please ensure you register and activate your University email address within the first week of your course so that you can order your uniform in a timely manner.  There will be a follow up process for late registrants, but this will delay production and delivery of the uniform.

Please note that you will be unable to participate in any work experience, professional placement or engage in any volunteering activity arranged through the University, unless all of the above-mentioned processes are completed, which may then delay the completion of your programme of study.

All information is correct as at November 2020. Please check individual courses for full requirements.
