Fitness to Practice

Fitness to Practice

It is extremely importance to protect members of the public from harm and to maintain the trust and confidence of the general public in the professions and the University. Thus it is vital that medical students are deemed fit to practise while on placement. To describe an individual as ‘Fit to Practise’ in the context of certain professions is to say that he/she possesses the attributes considered necessary in an individual to allow on-going practice as an independent practitioner in the relevant profession.
