You have applied for a course which requires the satisfactory completion of a medical fitness assessment. This is carried out by our NHS Occupational Health partners. To ensure that you meet the health requirements of your course it is essential that you complete the online health assessment before you enrol and comply with any recommendations, including attending appointments where these are required.

Please Note: The questionnaire will contain a section on immunisations.  Please enter ‘no’ for each of the questions within this section as it does not relate to the course you are undertaking.

We are aware that you will all receive an automated message once you have completed this questionnaire. The following message says;

Thank you for completing the online health assessment. You will be contacted shortly by the occupational health department for your Higher Education Institute (HEI). IMPORTANT: Please refer to the letter from your University regarding the vaccination documentation required. It is imperative you attend all Occupational Health appointments when invited. Failure to do so may result in you being unable to progress your studies.

Please be aware that this is a standard message given across all questionnaires and across all courses. As part of your teacher training course you do not need to have any vaccinations and will not receive a letter from Sheffield Hallam University based on any vaccinations. We understand that this could cause confusion and wanted to let you know that this section about vaccinations doesn’t apply.

Please follow the instructions below to access the online questionnaire. Should your declaration have any gaps or information which the Occupational Health Service needs to investigate further, they will either;

• phone you to seek further information, or
• send you a text message with an appointment with Occupational Health to discuss any issues. It is important that you attend your appointment as your enrolment may be delayed if the clearance hasn’t been completed. If you are unable to attend at the given time, you should contact Occupational Health on 0114 271 4737 to arrange an alternative time. Where your declaration doesn’t throw up any issues, you will not hear anything from them.
