Placements form an important part of learning at the IoPPN. They provide an opportunity for you to consolidate and complement your academic learning, while also developing skills that employers value. 

If your programme includes clinical placements, whether mandatory or optional, you'll receive a Clinical Placements Handbook. You should refer to this handbook for information about clinical placements on your specific programme. 

To ensure compliance while you're on your clinical placement, you'll be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and an Occupational Health (OH) check

You can also visit the IoPPN Placements Information KEATS Page for placement-related information, including:  

  • Placement clearance process 

  • Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks 

  • Occupational Health (OH) checks 

  • Research Passports
