We kdo not directly exchange uniforms. If your uniform does not fit, you would need to arrange an exchange directly with the supplier. When delivered, your uniform comes with a returns note, this would need to be completed. Please see this link for more information: https://blogs.shu.ac.uk/healthtechnicalteam/home/uniform-main-page/ If your uniform is worn or damaged you would need to purchase new uniform.
