If you are made an offer
If you are made an offer, and you accept, you will be required to take part in an occupational health screening procedure to ensure that you are fit to practice in a healthcare setting.
You will also be required to obtain a DBS Check. We will contact you on how to do this as this cannot be obtained independently.
You will also be required to obtain the relevant vaccinations, or evidence immunity. We will contact you after an offer on what you will need to do.
It has now been confirmed that mandatory Covid vaccinations for health and social care workers, and students on placements, in England will no longer be legally required. However, the Health Secretary has said it is still considered “a professional responsibility for health and care staff, and others who work in the health and social care sectors, to be vaccinated” and as such, we strongly recommend that all students are fully vaccinated (unless medically exempt) before undertaking clinical placement activities. We will discuss Covid vaccination and implications for placement with students on commencement of the programme.
