For Wednesday afternoon practical sessions - If you have a sport event planned and you need to swap your session, the faculty guidance is to arrange a swap with another student in a different day. This is to keep safe numbers in practical sessions for Covid 19 precautions. Please make sure this is arranged in advance and that your tutor/ module leader are aware of the swap. The faculty is aware of this issue and is trying to avoid it for next year. Although it is not going to change things for you, the team will try their best to support you.

PP1 - Please remember to check your emails during placement as we will need to communicate with you. Our Practice Learning Coaches will be contacting you in week 1 of your placement and will be doing the midway phone calls. Your Academic Advisors are still available for support as needed. Your Academic Advisor will be sharing information to book your final feedback phone calls during placement.

Good Luck on your placement!
