Fitness for Practice - Health Requirements
Any offer of a place to study medicine is conditional upon a satisfactory medical examination, including screening for tuberculosis, to be undertaken under arrangements made by the University Medical Officer by all students before the commencement of their studies.
Separate arrangements are made for applicants with disabilities - see the page for applicants with disabilities.
In the interests of both staff and patient safety, and in keeping with nationally agreed guidelines, prospective medical students are advised to seek immunisation against Hepatitis B virus before commencing the course. Successful applicants will be required to provide documentary proof of either adequate antibody levels following immunisation, or, if antibodies are not developed after a full course, that they are not infectious carriers of the virus. Students unable to provide this documentation will be required to undertake appropriate screening and immunisation during the medical examination described above. The School reserves the right to refuse admission to the medical course to a student with a serious transmissible disease such as tuberculosis and hepatitis B.
Further information is available in the publication "Medical & Dental Students: Health Clearance" from the Medical Schools Council (download PDF).
Applicants should note that the health requirements may be subject to change.
