General

Covid Vaccination status - You will have all received email information from the Dean of College Toni Swartz, regarding vaccination status and data collection which is in response to government legislation. A copy of the letter can be found here. Please ensure you read this information carefully and complete the declaration request to enable you to continue to be compliant with Occupational Health regulations in relation to health care placements. If any students would like to drop in to discuss any queries with me I will be available via zoom here oat 3:30pm Tuesday 14th December.

Semester 2 timetables will be released to students on Friday 17th December. You should check your individual timetable via https://mytimetable.shu.ac.uk/schedule

🎄 ***Student Christmas social events Postponed*** 🎄- Unfortunately we have made the decision to cancel these events. We want to be careful and do not want to put any students at risk so close to Christmas. We will reorganise social events in Semester 2 when hopefully there is less uncertainty. We hope you all understand.

Course Leader drop in session - The next drop in is Wednesday 5th January 2022 - Please click here to book a slot. I am moving these sessions to be every 2 months from now on.

Level 5 - Year Lead Ahmed Hassan (a.hassan@shu.ac.uk)

Placement - Your PP1 placement allocation has been released today. Please contact your Practice Educators by the 17th December to introduce yourself, provide your SWOT analysis and pre-placement objectives. This is also so that the placement provider have enough time to ensure you have access to their IT systems. Failure to contact them may mean you do not start placement on time. For those students who did not complete Level 4 ACRDM placement last year please await further information from the Placements team.

Level 6 - Year Lead Peter Hanley (p.hanley@shu.ac.uk)

AHP Careers fayre - please see the flyer below. There will be a number of different Employers at this event along with Physiotherapy specific sessions throughout the week. Save the date in your diary. More information will be available. Please note this may be subject to change based on any changes to government covid guidelines.

APP1 - Your placement forms should now all be completed and uploaded to Grade Centre. If these are not your mark will be capped at 40%. Please ensure you are looking at your feedback to identify any gaps in your knowledge/skill set so that yo can make an action plan for the next few months to help develop these in preparation for completing the next placement, finishing the course and becoming qualified practitioners. We are really pleased to welcome two new staff working closely with your Academic Advisors and placements team to support you on placement, Hannah and Kirby who are our new Practice Coaches. Please watch their intro video below.
