Non-academic conditions

Health clearance

You'll be asked to complete a confidential online occupational health questionnaire. This will be sent out from May 2024, you should aim to complete this immediately to avoid delays with your application. Please complete with as much detail as possible. If you do not have all of the information required, it is suggested you submit it with the information that you have to avoid delay in your clearance. You can visit your occupational health portal to update/amend as appropriate.

The university may need to carry out a full assessment of your support needs in order to ensure that it can fully meet its legal obligations to you. Very occasionally, the university may determine that it is not able to provide the support required, in which case the offer will be withdrawn. 

If you disclose a disability, the University Disability Support Services may contact you to discuss possible reasonable adjustments to support you with your studies.

As part of the health clearance, we need to make sure you're fit to study and fit to practice.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you complete the occupational health process to be cleared as fit to study. Failure to complete this means you have not complied with the requirements of your course and will not be able to start with the rest of your year group.

Covid-19 vaccination

While we still encourage all eligible students to become fully vaccinated against Covid-19, there is currently no impediment to you starting your course, regardless of your Covid-19 vaccination status.

DBS check / Police clearance

All UK medical schools are required to ensure that all medical students undergo police clearance.

You must advise us of any criminal convictions you may have.

You'll need to have a new Enhanced DBS check (child and adult). We'll contact you with more information on the steps you'll need to take before you start your course. Please only apply for your DBS through the process we provide.

Non-UK residents need to obtain a police check from their home country and this must be received by the end of August. Details of how to apply will be sent out. If you're applying for Graduate Entry Medicine, you will need your police clearance by start of August 2024. The only exception to this is if you receive an offer after this date.

Fitness to train

All UK medical schools have a duty to ensure that no member of the public is harmed as a consequence of participating in the training of medical students.

If your conduct falls below the high standards of behaviour expected, your offer may be revoked.

Follow regulations and policies

Medical students will be expected to comply with regulations and policies required by your local campus. This may include the University of Nottingham, the University of Lincoln, the School of Medicine, and Lincoln Medical School.
