Professional Behaviour
Dress Code:
Eastern Health medical personnel do not wear lab coats. Neat, professional attire is expected.
Closed toe shoes ONLY
No runners or sneakers
No high heels
No facial jewellery
No short hems
No low cut tops
No hooded jumpers
Strictly NO jeans/denim
Note: Eastern Health has a “no jeans” dress code and both staff and students are required to comply with this.
Identification:
It is a requirement at Eastern Health Clinical School and Eastern Health Electives Program that all students have an Eastern Health ID Badge. Your ID badge must be clearly visible at all times. It must be returned (with return of your deposit) when you leave Eastern Health.
Working With Children (WWC) & Police Checks:
To be carried with you at all times. Any student without a valid WWC / Police Check will not be permitted to commence their clinical placement.
Interaction with staff:
As a clinical student you are a junior member of staff in the clinical environment. Eastern Health expectations are that all staff and students will behave in a professional manner. Harassment and bullying are not acceptable.
Patient Privacy:
We expect a polite, considerate attitude to patients. Respect your patients’ privacy – make sure no identifiable information about your patients is removed from Eastern Health. Avoid discussing patients with non-clinical staff, or with your non-medical friends. When discussing “cases” try to avoid identifying the patient, and focus on the clinical issues.

Interaction with Patients:
It is a great privilege to learn from patients in the clinical environment. Through the Eastern Health Electives Program, we expect students to take every opportunity to see patients in the wards and outpatient clinics.
We suggest you:
Get to know the junior and senior medical staff on your Unit.
Get to know the nurses on the wards, and check with them before seeing a patient.
Spend time getting to know your patients as well as practising history/evaluation and diagnostic skills.
Respect the needs of your patients for privacy, time with visitors etc.
Workplace Safety:
You should request and review Eastern Health policy from your supervisor with respect to procedures, in case of emergency. If you are injured whilst on placement, (e.g. needle stick) you must report this to your supervisor and follow all required procedures. Any personal injury must also be reported to the Clinical Site Assistant.
Infection Control/Hand Hygiene:
You are expected to adhere to infection control/hand hygiene policy and practice.
Risk Management:
We are all collectively responsible for maintaining a safe clinical care environment. If you have any concerns regarding workplace safety or health practices, please either inform your Unit or discuss with the Clinical Site Administrator.
Forms/Assessments/Confirmation of Placement etc.
Eastern Health provides a true elective placement only. This means we do not provide formal teaching or summative assessments to fulfil ‘core’ rotational requirements within your current course. The student will be expected to participate in the activities of the clinical unit, and will have multiple opportunities to engage in clinical activities in relation to patient assessment and patient care under the supervision of hospital staff. It is possible that the student may be able to participate in tutorials that he/she or other students have arranged.
Students attending elective placements at Eastern Health are NOT students of Monash University or Deakin University. For this reason, Eastern Health Clinical School or Eastern Health Electives Programs will not complete or endorse any official forms or assessments issued from your University or Higher Educational Provider. On request, a declaration of attendance letter will be provided and endorsed by this office.
