IMPORTANT - MBChB students have an added layer of professional expectation to students on other courses.If you are an MBChB student, we strongly recommend that you read the GMC (General Medical Council) publication "ACHIEVING GOOD MEDICAL PRACTICE" and refer to this document regularly throughout your time on the course, so you are familiar with the expectations the GMC have of all UK medical students. The Faculty has designed the course, and professional expectations of you as a medical student, based on these guidelines.

All Medical students in Phase 2 of the course are assigned an Educational Supervisor when starting a new Block. The Educational Supervisor is an essential help to your journey during the clinical phase of the course.
Student are expected to meet with their Educational Supervisor at least three times during the Block. The Educational Supervisor (ES) is there to help you, advise and support your clinical placement and learning. It is your responsibility to arrange meetings with them and follow up on any suggestions or requirements they may discuss with you. Meetings are recorded on EMER and at the end of the Block your ES will assess whether you have completed the necessary requirements of the course for that specialty. They will also have access to your Attendance and Engagement records and will be monitoring your complete engagement with their Block.
