Travel Costs for placements
The funding to support student learning in practice is negotiated by the Faculty as part of the Practice Partner Agreement with Health Education Wessex and our practice learning partners across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. If you are an NHS commissioned student who has to undertake a practice placement you may be entitled to have the cost of journeys between your term-time residence and the practice placement site (which is not part of your University), reimbursed. Practice placement involves training in hospitals or community health services rather than a classroom. The daily cost of travel to the practice placement site must be greater than the normal daily travel cost from your term-time residence to college. You are advised to contact NHS Bursary if you need to clarify your eligibility to claim for travel expenses. You can obtain further information about practice learning and travel costs on the pre-registration programmes Blackboard site: https://blackboard.soton.ac.uk/webapps/blackboard/content/listContent.jsp?course_id=_117600_1&content_id=_1963103_1&mode=reset#
