The placement uniform swap shop

Description

At The Students' Union, we understand how expensive placements can be. The price of uniforms, parking, accommodation and enough coffee to get you through your shift - it all adds up.

That's why we've created our placement uniform swap shop, to give our healthcare students a more budget-friendly, eco-friendly placement experience.

Placement uniform swap shops will be held every Wednesday, between 12:00-14:00 in The Students' Union at Glenside Campus. 

Donate

If you've finished your course, you can drop your pre-loved placement uniform items off in The Students' Union Office at Glenside Campus at any time between 9:30-16:00, Monday to Friday. We accept all sizes, styles and conditions - but please help us out by washing items before donating them.

Swap

Come along to our weekly swap shop events to exchange your uniform items for something more comfortable. 

Collect

You can still pop along to a swap shop event, even if you don't have anything to swap. Whether your uniform hasn't arrived in time for placement or you're struggling to juggle laundry with late night shifts, we can help you out on a case-by-case basis.  

Spread the word

Tell your friends, your course mates and your lecturers. This scheme is run solely on donations so the more uniforms we have, the more swap shops we can run.
