Barts GEP - term dates, health forms and conduct information

[Kes83]

I've received 3 emails today with term dates, conduct info and health forms attached - problem is I cannot open any of the attachments as it says there is a problem with them - is this just me or does anyone else have this issue?

Cheers, Kerrie

Yeah, same issue for me on the 5 year course too. Im assuming theyve messed up on their mass email.

Fired an email back asking about the issue, will post if theres any response.

In the meantime, I guess theres no code of conduct so anything goes *toot*

[Kes83]

Oh good, not just me then. I've emailed them too. Assume we'll get new emails tomorrow!

[GazT]

I called and they are aware of the problem and fixing it now. I'm sure we'll get another e-mail soon.

Cheers

Hi can anyone tell me what the term dates are for the GEP,
I haven't replied on UCAS so wont get the email from them just yet.
thanks! x

[Kes83]

Got mine - filled out health form and going to drop at GP to get immunisation record filled in. Does anyone know - if we are missing vaccinations e.g. MMR, is it our responsibility to persuade GP to do or will occy health do when we get there?

[Sin]

Previous experience would be that its pretty important to get it done in advance. I think if you send back that you havnt had it, theyll insist on you getting it done before you attend.

That said it shouldnt be any trouble for the GP. Once you tell them its for medschool, they're normally happy enough to start/continue you on the vaccination course. Doesnt even need a doc to do it, I ended up having 3 appointments with the nurse practitioner.

Also its probably best to start soon, I think they like to leave a few weeks to a month in between each shot. Once you've got it done, youll just have to send in the Hep B form or (maybe) bring it to occ health, but im sure thatll be cleared up once you respond

Edit: Just realised you meant for MMR, im not sure how pushy theyll be over that, but i guess better safe than sorry

[Kes83]

Hmmm - I think my GP will be a pain. I've had full course HepB but not 5 year booster so I imagine I'll need that then a blood test. I've never had the MMR so hoping he will give at least 1 of those and can get the other done later (not sure how long you need between doses?). Heaf test +BCG I've had and I've had single measles and rubella I think. Does anyone know what date the form must be returned by?
