Vaccinations

All new medical students are required to provide evidence of vaccination to ensure compliance with the Department of Health screening requirements for medical students and health care workers, and the infection control requirements of the NHS Trusts where students are placed.

The list of required vaccinations can be found in the document Occupational Health Information for Prospective Medical Students. You should aim to get as much as possible done before you start with us and then anything missing will be picked up by the Occupational Health Advisor. They will advise on vaccination requirements during your initial health screening appointment after joining the course.

Covid vaccination remains the most effective way to protect yourself and your patients from Covid 19 and we strongly recommend that all students are fully vaccinated.
