Extracurricular Considerations for Clinical Placement (ECCP)

ECCP is a process to allow certain students to be placed on clinical placements nearer to campus if they have certain extracurricular commitments (see eligibility) that require them to be regularly on around campus (Whitechapel, West Smithfield, Mile End or Charterhouse Square) or in a particular geographical location.

ECCP Categories:

There are 3 categories under which an individual can apply for ECCP:

  • Category A: Holding a substantial role within an affiliated student group which requires regular availability on or around campus (Whitechapel, West Smithfield, Mile End or Charterhouse Square) for a substantial part of the academic year or rotation. For this category, the student group must fill in the application on behalf of the role they wish to award ECCP to.

  • Category B: Holding professional athlete or competitor status which requires regular availability in a particular geographical location for a substantial part of the academic year or rotation. For this category, the student themselves need to submit their own ECCP form outlining why they need infirms, how regularly and how long for.

  • Category C: Holding a BLSA rep position which requires regular availability on or around campus (Whitechapel, West Smithfield, Mile End or Charterhouse Square) for a substantial part of the academic year or rotation. For this category, the student themselves need to submit their own ECCP form outlining why they are needed on campus, how regularly and how long for.

POSSIBLE OUTCOMES from request for eccp:

Applications will be assessed by select members of the BLSA Board (who exactly is yet to be determined but likely the BLSA President, VP London, Welfare Officer and Sports, Societies and Volunteering Officers), with support from the SMD, who will either:

  • Grant ECCP

  • Grant ECCP for a particular rotation

  • Reject ECCP

CRITERIA CONSIDERED WHEN APPROVING ECCP:

A decision to approve ECCP will be based on the following criteria:

  • The need to be on campus for a regular extensive period of time – only individuals who can demonstrate they need to be on campus regularly throughout the year/rotation will be granted ECCP. Please note that unless stated why, it will be assumed that meetings can be joined digitally via online video calling and hence will not usually be accepted as a reason why someone is needed on campus.

  • At what point in the year the applicant is needed on campus for – if an individual is only needed regularly on campus for a particular section of the year, ECCP may only be offered for the corresponding rotation.

  • Length of rotations – longer rotations will be prioritised for granting ECCP.

  • The impact not receiving ECCP will have on the applicant – decisions will be made in order to minimise negative impact.

  • How many ECCP places can be offered – ECAP requests must be prioritised ahead of ECCP.

Timelines & APPLY:

Applications are open now and will close 10am on Friday 30th June.

Your application will then be considered by the current BLSA president, VP London, Clinical Rep, Societies Rep, Volunteering Rep and Sports Rep.

You should hear back in mid to late July. However, a response may come slightly later in early August.

Appeals:

If you disagree with the decision made you will be able to appeal. You will be contacted on how to do this closer to the time. The process will involve explaining why you disagree and a new committee, made up of the new BLSA president, VP London, Clinical Rep, Societies Rep, Volunteering Rep and Sports Rep who take over on August 1st, will consider this appeal.
