EXTRA PROGRAMME INFORMATIONAs we are seeking to identify your
suitability for this clinical environment, we expect our
interviewees to adopt the dress code required of clinical dental
students at King's. Further information will be given should you
choose to apply. Entry to the programme is strictly dependent upon
occupational health clearance that you are able to conduct exposure
prone procedures (EPPs) before you start clinical work. This will
assess your hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody
status, HIV and TB status following the completion of a health
questionnaire and a further health check before or at enrolment. If
offered a place on the course, overseas students are advised to be
tested locally and send the results of these checks with the
questionnaire, prior to a separate full test in the UK at the
College's Occupational Health Department before term begins. All
offers of a place on a programme are made subject to a satisfactory
criminal conviction disclosure. If you are from overseas or have
never lived in the UK before, you should contact the relevant
authorities in your home country to arrange for the equivalent
check to be conducted and/or a certificate of good conduct to be
issued.
