Identification and Apparrel Guidelines |
 |
|
As Pharmacy students on clinical teaching rounds or placements in professional settings, you are required to exhibit a professional appearance in both manner and dress. Rules of professional courtesy and common sense should govern all communication with patients, pharmacy staff and other health professionals. Remember that the reputation of pharmacy and of the particular pharmacy practice depends on the conduct of the people working in that practice.
You are expected to be clean, well-groomed and to conform to the requirements set for employees of the pharmacy. A School of Pharmacy shirt is recommended for use during practical and clinical placements.
- Jeans, T-shirts, board shorts, tank tops, trainers and similar casual wear are not suitable.
- A necktie for males is not essential, however some hospitals and pharmacies prefer their staff and students to wear one.
- Appropriate necklines, midriff and hemlines are required.
- Hygiene is particularly important on the wards and in practice sites generally, for example hand washing is required to enter some wards such as the Cardiac Surgery Unit. Particular attention should be paid to the cleanliness of hands and fingernails.
- Enclosed footwear should be worn in clinical areas.
- Hair that is loose should be collar length or else neatly tied back.
Students are reminded that they are dealing with personal health issues and privacy is paramount.
