Common use of ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY Clause in Contracts

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY. The GMC has set a requirement that to qualify as a doctor you need to have trained for a specified number of hours across your medical school and F1 years. To achieve this requires full attendance of the course. There is an absolute minimum attendance of 80% for each component of the programme, acceptable only where valid and approved mitigation exists. MB ChB students at Manchester must therefore make every attempt to attend all their teaching at the scheduled times. They must inform the University of any disability or ill-health that could affect their ability to complete any component or activity within the programme. By taking on a career in medicine, medical students are accepting a lifestyle that is very different from that of other students and it is important to know that your life will be impacted both while you are on the undergraduate programme, when you take on your training post and beyond. For example, you may have to move around the country to get the job you want or to move up the ladder and you will work unusual hours such as nights or “on call”. Life as a medical student and as a medic is different to other academic programmes of study and careers and we expect our students to have considered this before accepting to study on the MB ChB Programme and entering the field of medicine. An important feature of the Manchester MB ChB Programme is that you are educated and train in the NHS and in order to get the most out of your learning opportunities we expect you to work and study in the same sort of way as you will be working throughout your career. Medicine is a full time course and to get the best out of the Programme students will need to travel to hospitals and GP surgeries. By accepting a place on the MB ChB at Manchester, students are accepting our rules and regulations and the structure of our Programme. This includes accepting that for Years 3-5 we will be allocating students to one of our four clinical education campuses in Manchester (Oxford Road/Wythenshawe), Salford or Preston and each of their associated district hospitals and placements. Very occasionally students find that after they join the MB ChB Programme at Manchester their situation changes in a way that makes it important they are based at a specific sector teaching hospital. These are called "mitigating circumstances". We understand that mitigating circumstances can occur and use the same criteria for deciding if the reasons warrant special treatment as those used by the UK Foundation Programme Office, and Medical Schools Council, who are responsible for allocating you to your first job as a qualified doctor. By using the same rules we ensure our policies are consistent with those that will apply once you have graduated. You can find the Foundation Programme rules at: Where students have mitigating circumstances (as detailed in the Policy on Allocation to Clinical Education Campus in Years 3-5 Academic Year 2018-19) which make it very difficult to attend one or more of the clinical education campuses, the MB ChB Programme will take this into consideration where possible. All students will be asked to undertake an on-line questionnaire giving them an opportunity to state if there are any mitigating circumstances which need to be taken into account.
