A mandatory Health Screening appointment will be arranged for you through the College Health Service. Your School will schedule this appointment and notify you of the date and time in due course.

As part of your health screening, your vaccination status will be assessed. As soon as you receive your offer, you should obtain your childhood vaccine records and upload them to the health screening portal.

Failure to upload the required documentation may delay your health screening clearance and affect your ability to attend clinical or professional placements.
