JISCMail - DIS-FORUM Archives

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback and queries.

It's certainly not a trick, scam or otherwise, and I apologise if I've some how managed to portray this. Through my work within the DSA I became aware of the growing problem for students obtaining medical evidence, and we have worked hard to try and offer a solution. Likewise, I apologise for any typos, I struggle with dyslexia and despite my best efforts sometimes typos slip through the net.

There are lots of questions been raised (quite rightly), which I think I'll try and get back to individually this evening (please keep them coming).

Kind Regards,

Rich

Please note the terms and conditions: £28 charged for a late cancellation of a 10minute appointment (appointments charged in 10min blocks but no info as to what that charge might be)! This cancellation fee will be taken from your account directly. Your appointment is deemed to be missed if you are more than 2mins late.
Hmmm......
Just got in touch with SFE to ask about their involvement.

This is ridiculous. How do you have access to the students medical records? All you will have to go on is the anecdotal evidence of the student.

Best wishes

Hi All,

Over a number of months I'd been hearing a lot of stories of students struggling to get Medical Evidence documentation together for their application to the DSA. This was either due to chocker GP/Specialist waiting lists, expensive fees for the completion of private paperwork, or poorly completed documentation not being accepted by SFE.

After discussions with SFE, we recently set up 'The Higher Ed. Clinic' to try and offer these students support. Students can book online appointments with our team of GMC registered doctors, who in consultation with the student, will complete Medical Evidence Forms in real time. We're available in normal working hours, but also evenings and weekends. We're a fraction of the price of the average GP fee, and our team are trained to complete the appropriate documentation correctly.

Check us out here www.thehigheredclinic.com

Happy to talk anyone interested through the service we're offering, and will be hosting webinars for Student Support staff or anyone interested.

Feedback welcome.

Kind Regards,
Rich
