All teaching sessions are included in our attendance expectations:

Face to face & online (synchronous & asynchronous)

At WMS or in clinical environments

Large group, Small group or CBL

We monitor using registers at sessions (face to face and online) & completion of Moodle modules.

On placements we monitor workshop attendance and your supervising clinician will report on attendance on your end of block form.

We expect 100% attendance (in line with University guidance) but do understand there may be occasions including ill-health where students may not be able to attend. We therefore have set a minimum attendance of 80%.

This requirement is usually for each block of study. Higher attendance in one block can NOT be used to mitigate for low attendance in another.

 You can view your attendance records on Tabula.

If you think your attendance is likely to fall below 80% please contact your phase lead and Deputy Senior Tutor as soon as possible.

Where there are good reasons for reduced attendance (eg illness) we can help you remediate lost learning. For students who engage with us at an early stage this is usually successful.

If you are unable to meet the attendance requirements and mitigate lost learning you may be asked by exam board to repeat the year or withdraw from the course- even if you have successfully completed the assessments.

Attendance should not be viewed as a "tick box exercise" and we expect students to engage with sessions.

You will not able to get the full benefit of the session unless you:

DO

• Take part in discussions.

DO NOT

• Sign in and then leave- this is unprofessional (poor probity) and will be managed as a professionalism concern.
• Sign in for anyone else- this is unprofessional (poor probity) and will be managed as a professionalism concern.
• Sign into online sessions from public places, while driving, shopping, at the gym or engaged in any other distracting activities.

You have committed a lot of time and money to take this course- make the most of it!
