Paramedic science admission

I have a conditional offer for paramedic science at uni does anyone know what a medical clearance and completion of a Self-Declaration form is? I read the info on the uni website but cannot make much sense of it

If you post the link, I can take a look for you. All healthcare courses will require applicants to complete health screening and often a DBS check so it is standard procedure.

That all seems fairly standard. The process for my DD for a healthcare course (not paramedic) was that, once her place was confirmed after results day, she completed the DBS check. When she started uni, she was required to fill in a health questionnaire and provide evidence of vaccinations (her childhood red book was suffficient), and attend a health screening appointment. I presume all courses will go through a similar procedure once places are confirmed in summer, but if you are in any doubt and think that some information might be required now, just call your uni to check.
