“(6) During the first year of the Course, students may be required to undergo
an occupational health assessment so as to ascertain that they are fit for work which
may bring them in contact with the clinical environment. Students who do not
fulfil this requirement may be barred from progressing with their studies. Failure
to disclose information about a physical or mental health problem that could affect
patient safety is considered to be a serious breach of the University Suitability to
