DATA PROTECTION

In order to allow students access to clinical placements we may be asked to share data with placement providers regarding your Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) status.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

It is essential for all Health students to attend an occupational health appointment before working in a practice placement area and this should not be missed. In addition, students undertaking health related courses require individual occupational health appointments for an immunisation check and update if necessary. Timings of the individual appointments will be displayed in the programme administration office, FF02 Peninsula Allied Health Centre. N.B. You will be notified of your initial appointment details during Welcome Week. All further appointments will be emailed to you. Failure to attend an appointment could result in a fine of £30.00 being imposed by the university and will also affect progression on your chosen programme. 5.1

Immunisation and Fitness to Undertake Clinical Placement

It would be helpful if you could bring any documentary evidence regarding vaccinations you may have received from your GP or current occupational health service to the initial vaccination check appointment. This will minimise the delay in confirming your fitness to commence clinical placements. We are particularly interested in:   

Documentation confirming your Hepatitis B immunisation history and status Documentation confirming your chicken pox status Documentation confirming your TB Status (e.g. heaf/mantoux results or BCG vaccination) Documentation confirming 2 doses of MMR vaccine or blood test confirmation of mumps/measles/rubella status.

Students embarking on courses which rely on the participation of exposure prone procedures such as Midwifery Students, Operating Theatre Practitioners and Paramedics will also require screening to determine their Hepatitis B, C and HIV status. These particular students will need to provide evidence if they have already been vaccinated against these conditions. You are advised to wear loose sleeved clothing for this appointment and to ensure you have had something to eat and drink. Should you have any queries regarding these requirements, you will have an opportunity to discuss this with the nurse at your appointment. Please see the Occupational Health document in the Information folder on the student gateway website.

UNIFORM

Uniform will be distributed in your third year. . 7.

PLACEMENTS

Practice placements are an essential component of ALL health related degrees and account for a large proportion of your programme. Placements are central to the curriculum as a means of achieving programme outcomes namely, fitness for award, practice and purpose. Practice placements offer opportunities for a wide range of clinical experiences within both traditional environments such as acute and community hospitals and in emerging services such as prisons. You will be required to travel to placements. Details of travel times/distances can be found at http://www.transportdirect.info

7.1

Placement Planning

All practice placements are secured by the Faculty of Health and Human Sciences in consultation with programme teams and allocated according to individual students learning needs and previous experience. We DO NOT guarantee to place students close to home addresses. Students ARE NOT permitted to make their own placement arrangements. 7.2

Placement completion

These professional programmes require students successfully to complete periods of clinical/professional placement as a condition of progression and graduation. These placements are provided by external agencies such as health service providers. Please note: The University will take every care in ensuring that providers are advised of requirements in advance and in securing placements for all students at the requisite time. However, students should be aware that circumstances beyond the University's reasonable control may occur in which, as a result of changes within the Health Service or other external factors, it is not possible for providers to meet placement requirements. In such circumstances, the University will use its best efforts to make alternative arrangements for students to meet the requirements of their programme, including identifying suitable alternative placements wherever possible. Students should be aware that it is possible that the completion of their programme may be unavoidably delayed and/or that the alternative arrangements put in place may cause them some inconvenience.

BSc (Hons) Optometry 2015/2016 Welcome Week Information

10

In such circumstances any student who does not want to accept the alternative arrangements would be entitled to terminate their studies and receive an appropriate refund of fees and recognition of their academic achievements. 7.3

Disclosure and Barring Service Check Information

Some placement providers require us to confirm the outcome of Disclosure and Barring Service Check before they will accept you on placement. All information is treated with the strictest of confidence. PLEASE KEEP YOUR DBS COPY SAFE FOR THE DURATION OF YOUR PROGRAMME OF STUDY. THIS IS IN CASE PLACEMENT PROVIDERS WITHIN THE INDEPENDENT SECTOR WISH TO HAVE SIGHT OF IT IN ORDER TO SATISFY THEIR OWN INTERNAL REQUIREMENTS.

7.4

ARC

ARC is a placement management system that provides students with online information about the placement to which they have been allocated. In addition a web based “one stop shop” known as poppi is available to provide supporting information. Further information about ARC can be found in the information folder for your programme on the student gateway website 8.

GOOD LUCK

Thank you for taking the time to read this booklet. We look forward to seeing you on the 21 September 2015. Welcome Week sessions will give you the opportunity to meet Academic and Administrative staff and should provide you with the majority of information that you need to get started. If you have questions don’t be afraid to ask. The Programme Administration teams on the two Plymouth sites are very knowledgeable. If they do not know the answer to your question they will point you in the direction of a person who does. It only remains for us to wish you good luck with your studies during your time at Plymouth University.
