Students are asked to contact their placement before their start date and ask for any pre-reading or bespoke welcome information and resources that may support them.
If they need any contact details for their placements they can contact any of the PEF team below:
  • Morag.booth@nhs.net
  • Emily.chaffe@nhs.net
  • Sarah.mitchell57@nhs.net
For community placements, they will need an NHS.net email and Windows domain account. Having a Windows domain account means they can access PCs associated with East Cheshire NHS Trust, including Macclesfield District General Hospital (MDGH), the library drop-in PCs and community placements.

Community Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy placements also require EMIS access and training. EMIS Group software is used by NHS trusts in a wide range of secondary care settings. EMIS systems are used to manage hospital pharmacy and prescribing, emergency care and electronic patient records (including patient administration systems).
Please ask any of the PEF team for the bespoke pre-placement student induction and welcome packs for learners who have a forthcoming community placement at:
  • Knutsford Community Therapy Team
  • Knutsford Community Hospital
  • Waters Green Medical Centre
  • Handforth Health Centre
  • Congleton War Memorial Hospital
  • Priorslegh Medical Centre (Poynton)
Picture
The packs include information about each base, travelling and parking, pre-reading, and information about community placements at East Cheshire NHS Trust as a whole. ​
