BSc Veterinary Nursing
If you are holding an offer for this programme, you will be required to undertake an Occupational Health (OH) screening for your placement experience.
The OH screening is carried out for various purposes:
- To confirm your fitness to complete the course including placements
- To indicate where additional support and adjustments are required for you to complete the placement aspects of your course
- To confirm your fitness for employment within veterinary nursing.
You will need to undertake your OH check with Innovate Healthcare Ltd.
Innovate Healthcare Ltd will send you an email invitation to complete your OH Questionnaire via an online system. The email sender will be donotreply@innovatehmg.co.uk.
Please check your junk/spam folder if you have not received this email.
Complete the OH Questionnaire as fully as possible and to the best of your knowledge, including any medical history you have available to you or that you can obtain from your GP.
You must complete your OH Questionnaire as soon as possible to avoid any delays in starting your placement.
After you complete your Occupational Health (OH) questionnaire, you might be contacted by Innovate Healthcare to discuss any health information you’ve shared.
If needed, they will offer you a confidential phone or video call appointment with one of their health professionals. You’ll receive an email from donotreply@innovatehmg.co.uk with a link to book this appointment, but only if it’s necessary. Not everyone will be contacted.
Vaccinations
If you need vaccinations, you will get an email from donotreply@innovatehmg.co.uk with a link to book an appointment. These will take place at StoneX with their clinical vaccinations team:
StoneX Stadium West Stand

You may also need to attend follow-up appointments to complete your vaccination course. It is very important that you go to all of your appointments to meet your course requirements.
What to bring to your vaccination appointment
- Bring a form of photo ID, such as your passport, driver’s license, or Middlesex University student ID card if you have received one
- Bring proof of any medication you are currently taking
- Your medical records.
Before your vaccination appointment
- Make sure you eat and drink beforehand, unless you have been told not to
- Give yourself enough time to get to the appointment. If you are late, you will not be seen

Please be aware that if you do not attend your appointment or inform Innovate Healthcare within 48 Hours, a ‘did not attend’ (D.N.A) will be marked on your Occupational Health Record.
The University are notified of this and are charged.
Frequent D.N.A appointments are recorded by the University and can be escalated which may have implications on your placement.
During your course, you must communicate any change in health to your programme leader and programme team. If a change has occurred, the programme leader will arrange a meeting to determine if the change may have an impact on your ability to undertake the course. If an impact is identified, the programme leader will arrange for a referral to OH for a health screening reassessment.
If you have a period of four or more weeks sick leave (regardless of prior medical or health condition), this will be referred by the programme leader to OH for a health screening reassessment on your return to studies and prior to any placements.
Your results and Occupational Health's medical opinion is communicated to the programme team who will arrange for you to meet and discuss the outcome of the screening and the implications of the assessment.
