- Additional info
The composition of practice groups (WPO) should be respected at all times. Only if a person from the teaching staff has given written permission to do so, a student is allowed to change groups. Access to the classroom will be refused when students do not adhere to the group allocation.
To attend the practical lessons it is compulsory to wear appropriate clothing (i.e., a short and appropriate underwear). Every student must bring a large towel for hygienic reasons (to put over the table). Given the importance of hand hygiene in health care, it is important to have short, well-groomed nails in order to be able to carry out all technical operations correctly and with good hand hygiene.
