Your Arrival 2016 International YOUR ARRIVAL 2016 A guide to your first weeks at the University 2 University of Leeds Your Arrival 2016 www.leeds.ac.uk 3 Important Information Information provided by the University such as in presentations, University brochures and the University website, is accurate at the time of first disclosure. However, courses, University services and content of publications remain subject to change. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or to keep courses contemporary through updating practices or areas of study. Circumstances may arise outside the reasonable control of the University, leading to required changes. Such circumstances include, industrial action, unexpected student numbers, significant staff illness (where a course is reliant upon a person’s expertise), unexpected lack of funding, severe weather, fire, civil disorder, political unrest, government restrictions and serious concern with regard to the transmission of serious illness making a course unsafe to deliver. After a student has taken up a place with the University, the University will look to give early notification of any changes and try to minimise their impact, offering suitable alternative arrangements or forms of compensation where it believes there is a fair case to do so. Offers of a place to study at the University will provide up to date information on courses.

I can confirm that the contents of your Regulation 28 Report have been shared with the relevant staff to enable us to provide you with a comprehensive response. In your report you highlight that your matters of concern were as follows: (1) Mr Nyeruke’s medical conditions were not made known to the Trust. In consequence, he had worked on wards where patients had infections involving multi-resistant organisms. Given his compromised immune state, this situation involved risk to both patients and Mr Nyeruke himself. In the absence of information concerning a particular staff member’s medical condition there is a risk of transmission of infections either to or from the staff member. (2) There is scant evidence as to whether Mr Nyeruke underwent appropriate training in respect of PPE such as masks before being permitted to work on a ward involving infectious diseases. The difficulties involved (where a support worker supplied by a nursing agency is only in the hospital for a brief period) are acknowledged.
