I think it comes in an email and you have to print out the bits of paper to take with you.

Camhs told me I should be fine but apparently if my bmi goes below 16 again i'll just get kicked straight off the course :/ I think they're just trying to see if you need any extra support when you get there and stuff like that, thank you though, I hope everything works out for you too is yours for UoM too?x

Hi, I have only just seen this, but I have some knowledge of this situation from my own experiences. I started a university course back in 2012 and had a relapse (with anorexia) during that time. I was suspended from the course on medical grounds. The course wasn't for me, so I did leave permanently, but had I have chosen to continue, I would have been able to do so with medical permission. Having suffered for 6 years, I was quite surprised when I was accepted into the nursing course starting in 2014. As long as you're not at a high risk, then it is okay and you are right; it is more to do with them preparing themselves to support you. It is best that they know, so they can offer support or referrals during your time with them. If your GP or any other medical professional can supply with evidence which shows your progress/stability, then you will be fine x

What if you haven't been to see a GP? Idk what to put on the medical form:/

Do you have any treatment now? Or see any other healthcare professionals? They could also supply information to the University if needed. I would be as open as possible on the form; it is in your best interests at the end of the day. It is very easy to relapse at university due to new found freedom etc, but if you give them the details of your condition beforehand then they can offer their counselling services to you. Universities all have a lot of support systems put in place when it comes to eating disorders! It's only if you're at high risk, that you will be suspended from the course on medical grounds. I would advise filling your form out openly, but noting that if necessary, you can get your doctor to confirm the position you're in at present! Hope this helps

When is the nhs bursary deadline?
