While on placement, you’re expected to wear visible ID with your name and student status, so patients/clients know who is taking care of them.

Other ID you may wear will depend on where you work.

  • For example, students at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust wear a yellow, magnetic badge.
You will be provided with your badge during your welcome week. You should always wear your badge when on placement. 

Important to know: Please keep your name badge safe.

What if I lose my name badge?
If you lose your name badge, you can order a replacement at the KCL e-store: Replacement Name Badge for Nursing/Midwifery.
