If a student is studying a professional Health programme and it is considered that have contravened the Code of Conduct of the professional body (NMC, HCPC, GMC or other) or the University Code of Student Professional Conduct then they can be referred to the Student Fitness to Practise Procedure. The University Fitness to Practise Procedure can be found HERE. There is also some useful info guides to the process here:
All students are entitled to representation from the Students’ Union if they are facing a Student Fitness to Practise Procedure. Arrange to meet with the Students’ Union Advice Centre (advice@ccsu.co.uk) in good time before any meeting in order to go through the case and prepare. In your email please give a brief explanation of the situation and include your course, year and campus.
NB: with Nursing and Midwifery programmes, students are governed by the NMC guidelines. The HCPC guidelines have similar regulations for Social Work, ODP, OT, Paramedic and Radiography students. KMMS Students studying Medicine will have guidance from the GMC.
