    Hi RubyTuesday52

    I also have a conditional offer from Brookes to do Adult Nursing, and yesterday my final university got back to me, so I've now accepted Brookes as my firm!
    Are you doing degree or Diploma?

    Hey just me again. wondering whether you had to have injections in order to do Occupational therapy and if so, did the university arrangew any jabs you were missing or do blood screening for things like HIV, Hep B, etc? xx

    I seem to remember needing to provide a list of my previous vaccinations to Brookes and then being told what I still needed. You then get appointments at the John Radcliffe Hospital to make up any jabs you didnt have. I know a lot of people didn't have Hep B, I think the rule was you needed at least 1 hep B jab before you started placement in January. Theyd didn't check for HIV or anything though (I assume, I'm not HIV positive...) but yeah if you have any issues with vaccines they would help you out.

    Hi guys,

    Brookes has a Facebook community which you might want to look at - it's at www.facebook.com/oxfordbrookes - has updates for freshers' across the summer, you can ask them questions direct and stuff. Thought it might be of interest!

    Cheers

    Tim
