Student clinical placements will resume Sunday 14 February
Further to our ‘COVID-19 newsflash #32: COVID-19 ‘Circuit-breaker’ action restrictions’ Saturday 13 February (3pm), the ANMF has been in discussions with the Department of Health (DH) regarding cancelled student clinical placements (item #9 in our Newsflash).
The Department of Health (DH) have advised ANMF this evening that clinical placements for nursing and midwifery students will resume tomorrow – Sunday 14 February.
Originally the Branch was advised all placements were cancelled, please disregard this. However if student members find their placement is still cancelled, contact ANMF Member Assistance.
