The health and safety of patients, students and staff requires certain regulations to be observed. In particular, it is important that students are known to have been immunised against (or be immune to) a number of infectious diseases. Is is vital that students therefore complete their Occupational Health Clinical Placement screening in full.

During clinical placements you will be briefed on local health and safety procedures and arrangements. It is your duty to comply with these arrangements.

All accidents whether involving injury or not must be reported to the placement provider and the University.

In some cases the placement provider may have a system in place for forwarding this information to the University.

Alternatively, the forms for accident/incident reporting can be found here: Safety Services (The University of Manchester)
