Applying Health screening
Support
At Manchester Medical School, we are mindful of our overriding duty of care to the public, with whom medical students come into close contact at an early stage of their studies. Consequently, if your application is successful, we will require you to comply with any viral screening, as requested by the Department of Health.
In Phase 1 (Years 1 and 2), you have a strong student support network of academic and administrative staff based in the University and in the School, via a team of professional staff based in our Student Welfare and Professionalism Office (based in our Stopford Building).
Screening will be undertaken by our Student Occupational Health Service, who will advise you on any modifications to your course that may be required. You will also be asked to send a completed Pre-Acceptance Health Questionnaire, countersigned by your general practitioner, to our Student Occupational Health Department. If you have any questions about health screening, contact: Elizabeth Aniteye Student Occupational Health Nurse Adviser tel +44 (0)161 275 2862 email elizabeth.aniteye@manchester.ac.uk You can access our University policy document for admitting applicants to courses that require a medical fitness assessment online: www.manchester.ac.uk/ug/howtoapply/policies

As you move into your teaching hospital in Phases 2 and 3 (Years 3 to 5), you will be supported by your Hospital Dean and Associate Deans for Student Support, together with a local administrative student support team. This gives you access to a comprehensive pastoral and academic support system through each of the Hospital Deans’ offices, and you can build a strong relationship with members of the administrative and academic staff in your sector. The network of academic and administrative support within both our School and the wider University is also still available as you move into your clinical years.
