    DipHe ODP course Leicester Uni
    I have applied for the ODP course that starts in October 2012. I passed the 1st stage and now waiting to hear back to see if I have been selected for interview. I thought that the date I would hear back wasthe 1st July. Does anybody know when I will hear anything from them and how they will let me know? Thanks

    Hi all I too have an interview on the 16th so looking forward to meeting you all there. I have booked another informal meeting Nottingham Queens Medical Centre so will hopefully find out more. As far as i do know there are several tasks you have do in small groups of 5 or 6 i think. there is a task i think on writing and i think a 1to1 interview. that i got from someone who had an ODP MMI at hudderfield hospital. anyways will keep you posted if i learn anything new.

    Hey guys! - I am totally worried about next week - got an interview next Wednesday (Good luck to everyone ) anyone done an informal visit to any of the hospitals yet? x

    P.s. anyone know dress code? Formal but practical - i assume as we may be doing tasks?

    Hi guys

    I had an informal meeting this tuesday gone but I phoned instead of email as it was easier and I just managed to catch him whilst he was in office.

    he mentioned the task structure too and there are 6 stations, with one station dedicated to just the administration where you have to produce your certificates/passport ect so in effect there are 5 stations for tasks - thats how i understood anyway.

    as for clothing..its still an interview so Im guessing formal wear eg suit etc.

    my interview is on the 16th so wont be seeing you i dont think!.
