Health care professional students as patients guidance

Overarching principles NHS Tayside and NHS Fife provide extensive and varied opportunities for learning for Health Care Professional Students. As teaching organisations students will be part of care delivery to all patients. This guidance is for staff members in clinical areas that have a student admitted as a patient, and other students are in the same area on placement. As such there may be times when a student may require the supports of these services.

They will have the right to refuse to have other students participate directly in their care. Although these overarching principles provide guidance, you need to consider each student’s admission or referral on an individual basis. All students have a responsibility to keep their University contact up to date with regards to all health related concerns and episodes of ill health that impact on their programme of learning.
