General Health


  1. Student health professionals undertake work placements requiring physical activity for several hours a day. Those who have serious disorders of major organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver or who have a systemic illness that undermines their physical stamina, may be unable to meet this requirement. Exposure to illness environments might also be detrimental to some students’ general health.

  2. Study, exams, work, placements and/or the associated travel may be stressful to some students and potentially could exacerbate medical/mental health conditions. Students experiencing difficulties need to be proactive if this is the case and seek help/support without delay.
