Module 2 · Rota and attendance
Use the current rota supplied by your placement team. Check the date, start and finish time, clinical area and any teaching sessions before each shift. Arrive in time to introduce yourself and agree who will supervise you. If a shift or teaching session is unclear, ask the placement team rather than assuming it has changed.
If you are unwell, delayed or unable to attend, follow both the local placement and university reporting arrangements. Request changes in advance through the appropriate team. Keep your attendance record up to date and arrange required sign-offs during the placement.
Your rota snippet
Your Bristol or Peninsula year route is the place for your own rota example. The placement team’s current rota takes priority over any example.
Reading your rota
Check the date, shift times, clinical area, teaching sessions and who to contact about changes. A rota snippet should show these clearly, with a date or version so you can tell when it was updated.
