Once you have completed all your Professional Checks and are medically cleared for the course, you will be invited to a medical appointment so you can undertake the relevant vaccines required for you to attend placement.

For all professional health courses the University follows the Government best practice guidelines in expecting students to undertake a programme of immunisations as required by the Department of Health (DoH) and to meet the immunisation and immunity requirements of placement providers.

Vaccinations are provided by the University through our contracted Occupational Health provider at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. Medicals are booked and take place on site at Oak Lodge on Collegiate Campus. Vaccines are required for you to attend placement, and you will not be able to attend a placement setting without reaching the required level of vaccines for that area. This is to protect yourself and service users.
