Single Use Lockers
We have approximately 600 ‘gym style’ lockers that you can use when you are on site if you have not been assigned a locker. These are for students who have DR, Labs or Clinical Skills and are located close to these areas. To use these lockers, you will need to bring in a padlock to secure the locker. We do not provide padlocks.
Please note, these lockers are not to be used as assigned lockers or overnight, padlocks will be cut, and items removed on a frequent basis.
Placement Lockers
For students who are on placement in St George’s Hospital and have not been assigned a locker, you can choose to use an assigned locker for the duration of your placement period only.
You will be required to pay a cost of £16 to sign out a locker key, if the key is not returned within 7 days of your placement end date, your deposit will not be returned.
