[QUOTE="ATB123, post: 2681504, member: 579991"] I would speak with the uni to see what they advise, if you know where you're going in placement I would ring or pop in for a chat with my mentor/ward manager to inform them. A lot of wards now like you to keep your phone in your locker, but if you need it with you for CGM purposes then just explain it to them. Most wards (although I haven't worked on a ward since before I was diagnosed with diabetes) will be flexible and arrange your breaks to suit your needs plus allow little breaks if you need to sort out a hypo etc. Bear in mind ward work is very physical and you will do a LOT of steps in a day! But if you let your tutor or placement organiser at the uni know, they can let any future placements know of your needs before you start! [/QUOTE]
