How do I report absences whilst on clinical placement?

Health sciences 

All ill health and absence must be reported to the Faculty Student Support Office by completing the Absence Report Form or contacting the University on 01483 684505.

Periods of sickness that last between four and seven consecutive days require you to submit a self-certificate form by the last day of sickness (available on SurreyLearn). Periods of longer than seven days require a medical certificate which must be submitted promptly to your personal tutor. 

Veterinary medicine

If you are unwell and cannot attend your placement, you should first contact your placement provider by phone to let them know. Then you must complete an absence form which can be found on the module page for VMS5001. You should also notify the university academic who is there to support you on your placement (LVCP - Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Practice). If you miss more than 4 days on a 4 week placement or more than 3 on a 2 week rotation, you will need to remediate a minimum of 1 week during the summer of final year and this may affect your graduation.
