Supporting Placement Providers
These pages have been created as a resource hub for current and prospective placement providers who are supporting – or are interested in supporting – our students*. Here you will find a range of resources and essential guidance, documentation, and contact information to help you engage with practice learning across our wide range of health programmes.
We provide practice placements for students in the following disciplines:
- Nursing
- Midwifery
- Pharmacy
- Physiotherapy
- Public Health
- Paramedic Science
- Diagnostic Radiography
- Radiotherapy and Oncology
- Dental Hygiene and Therapy
Practice Learning is a mandatory component of all our pre-registration health programmes. During placements, students are supported in practice by a network of professionals, which may include practice supervisors, practice assessors /educators, personal academic coaches and link lecturers. We are committed to ensuring high-quality practice learning environments that support student development and meet professional standards.

We offer a diverse range of placement opportunities across NHS hospital and community settings, private healthcare organisations, voluntary, charitable, and independent sectors.
Placement Administration Team
The Placement Administration team is responsible for the coordinating and logistics of student placements, including: placement allocation, occupational health clearance and mandatory training tracking.
Note: DBS clearance is managed by the DSB team at dbs@uos.ac.uk
We work closely with placement providers to ensure placements are suitable and beneficial for both students and host organisations.
When allocating placements, we consider:
Known reasonable adjustments
Students’ term-time addresses
Driving status
Students are not normally expected to travel more than one hour from their term-time address to their allocated placement.

Access to the ePAD or eMORA is only available after your student invites you to their practice document. Students can invite a Practice Supervisor to the relevant sections themselves within the system.
If a student has attempted to invite a Practice Assessor but is unable to locate the details in the system please ask the PEF team within the Trust to email us to confirm your Practice Assessor status. They can do this by emailing placementadmin@uos.ac.uk . For anyone outside of a trust, please email us at the same address to request access.
Once you have been invited by your student to their practice document you can access this by clicking the appropriate link below.
