Fitness to practice

If you are student in the School of Health Sciences, or a student in our Primary Education programme (ITE), you must to meet the standard code of conduct set by your Professional Body.  If the University is alerted to, or has any concern of your conduct, character or your health interfering with your practice you might be called to meet your Programme Leader or Head of Division. If concerns further evolve you will be called to a Fitness to Practice Panel. This is to make sure you can undertake your role in a way your Professional Body views as safely and effectively. Being called to a Fitness to Practice Panel can be a very uncertain time, this is why your Students’ Union staff will always advise you and support you through the full procedure.

 

All QMU students are subject to Fitness to Study. If the University is concerned your health is impacting on your ability to study, you may be invited to meet with University Staff to discuss a support plan to help you through your studies.
