Should still be treated as per all clinical staff
* Blood results as proof of mmunity to rubella/ vzv/ hep B should be on
a UK path lab report - if not, student should repeat the test here in
uk
* Issue of Hep C (and possibly HIV, depending on local policy which
differs greatly on this, at present) only applies to those involved in
exposure prone procedures which should not involve students
* If working as doctor in exposure prone area, must not perform any
exposure prone procedure until Hep C negative result
* TB - we accept a visible BCG scar and a history of being aymptomatic.
If no BCG scar - repeat Heaf test
Hope this is of use

Hello
I am repeating this enquiry as I had little response last time I sent
it
(but thanks to those that did contact me) - 2 weeks ago or so- but feel
sure
that some of you may be able to help, especially those that work in NHS
or
Universities.
* What proof, if any, do you accept from medical students and
doctors
from anywhere overseas about their status re hepatitis B Immunity and
titre
level and surface antigen.
* Do you also ask for proof of testing for Hep C or HIV?
* What about TB- do you accept written evidence of a recent
negative
Heaf or Mantoux or do you retest?
* Also Rubella and varicella immunity?
* Do you accept different standards of proof from students who
are
only visiting for short 1-2 months electives or treat them the same
as
those who are staff?
I'd appreciate any information you can give -thanks!
