Parking is very limited in and around central campus. If you are able to use public transport Supertram Park & Ride would be the easier option and would drop a short walk away from any of the venues. If you do need to drive then please follow this link for the nearest parking. Parking is in very short supply around the university campus so please leave plenty of time to find parking and arrive at your venue before the start time of your session.
There are plenty of outlets within a short walk of all venues and at breaks you will be able to go to these. Alternatively bring all your own refreshments for the day.
Attendance at study days and engagement with the online discussions/activities is mandatory. All of the activities both on the study days and in the online environment are vital to help you successfully approach the assignment.
The minimum length of study does not include time out for official absence (which must be applied for through the official channels). Any request for a Leave of Absence (LOA) will require official university documentation and you may be required to provide documentation to support your request.
If you anticipate that you are going to struggle or fall behind with your studies, or indeed have done so, for whatever reason, or have other concerns regarding your general progress, please contact the course administrator for advice on med-ed@sheffield.ac.uk.
Prior to the study days, we will provide details of specific readings and/ or activities you are required to complete before attending. Details of these will be emailed to you and will also be available in the module space on Blackboard.
If you would like a hard copy of the study day slides, please print these yourself. You can find them in Blackboard in the Study Day folders. You can also bring a laptop or electronic device to access them during the study days.
