Medical Clearance
If the completion of a medical is a condition of your offer, you will be required to undertake a health assessment. This will be via an on-line platform provided by our appointed Occupational Health provider, Industrial Diagnostics Company Limited (Latus Group).
Data Sharing
In order to facilitate this process, we will share with IDC: Industrial Diagnostics Company Limited (Latus Group) the below information, which includes some of your personal data.
- Student number
- Name
- Course
- Date of birth
- Email address
- Telephone number (home and mobile)
The Process
IDC will email applicants that have accepted their offers and require a medical with fitness to train questionnaire. If you have applied to study a health programme, this will be followed up with a separate email to complete your vaccination history information. IDC (Latus Group) will then make any arrangements with you for any additional vaccinations and blood tests you require – the vaccination and blood clinics will take place post-registration.
Applicants that accept UoC as their firm choice will receive an email from Industrial Diagnostics Company Limited (Latus Group) with instructions on how to log on to their system and how to complete the fitness to train questionnaire.
It is important to monitor your spam/trash during the health assessment process as your IT system set up may divert the emails to these folders.
Please note: The email address will be no-reply@ohims.co.uk
Please be aware that if you fail to complete this check, this will affect your ability to enter your chosen course and to attend placement. If you wish, you can object to your records being shared with Industrial Diagnostics Company Limited (Latus Group), however, if you do, you will not meet the entry requirements for your chosen course and we will have to reject your application.
Please take the time to read/watch the presentation and leaflet below in full.
