In such cases, students will also need to comply with the rules of the relevant professional or regulatory body. We may need to disclose information about a student's studies to those third parties. In addition, we are required to ensure that medical students are fit to practise medicine. Further information on our ‘Fitness to Practise’ procedure is available here: Fitness to Practise
  • course and department-specific rules and regulations. Students are advised to speak to their department if they have any questions about these.
