Discuss your situation with your university student union representative who will assist you with your problem you have noted here.

If you have lots of time off for sickness throughout your coursework and you have been already warned about your attendance ( and any lost time you haven't made up) then it is possible that they can ask you to withdraw from your coursework.

Have you been referred back to their occupation health provider for any update about your health issues as they are there for you but will advise your university about what they recommend.

Hi
Apologies for the late response 🙏 🙏

I only noted about lot's of sickness in previous message to let you see that they could have used that.

Good to hear that you haven't had any time of from your course so far...
The occupational health provider will review your health issues with you and decide what they can do for you in anyway to allow you to continue with your nursing degree.

Each hospital trust has there own way of working things and yours seems to have waited until now to do this with you for whatever reasons they have.
Did they give you any reason for why they stopping you at the moment going onto placement.. apart from what you said previously about your medication.

Take advice from your university student union representative and get them to deal with this with you and hopefully they will be able to resolve this for you and allow you to get onto placements.

Hope you get it sorted soon 🙂 🙂

Apologies again for my late response 🙏 🙏

I think as long as you have every under control you shouldn't have any problems with doing your placement but as you know it's not up to ourselves whether we'll get to do placement as it's going to be up to your occupational health provider for your hospital trust.

As far as I understand you can lead a normal life and work balance but every individual person responds differently to treatments.

Only thing you can do at the moment is discuss it with your trust management and also occupational health to get this resolved for you asap.
