I am unwell on clinical placement. What should I do?

If you are unwell during your placement and cannot attend site, please inform your placement provider. Please also complete a placement absence report form. This can be found on the relevant SurreyLearn module page. You will need to keep a note of these hours as they will need to be made up at a later stage. Please discuss a plan to manage this with your personal tutor. 

If you are a veterinary student, you should also contact your Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Practice (LVCP) as well as the placement provider. 

If you require urgent support because you are in crisis, then you can access the University resources listed on the Centre for Wellbeing support page.
