Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Ok thanks(Original post by Happy Insomniac)
The specific ones in the white paper I keep repeatedly mentioning might be useful... Did you read the link I posted?
Beska's thread is pretty useful as a starting point.
Lol sorry 
Will they specfically ask me about a reform? -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011I have a really good answer for What id personally do if i was incharge of NHS. IMO its amazing, and has been in all my mock interviews! Although im abit worried that everyone is saying 50% + ish questions on NHS. I dont have THAT much to talk about.(Original post by Beska)
I doubt they will ask you about anything specific. You just need a handful of things to talk about when they shoot the open-ended NHS questions at you. -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011Oh, early on the post they said something about Newcastle Tours before/after the interview. Beska could you enlighten me pls(Original post by Beska)

My interview is at 3pm, just before i book, i made my time arrive at 12:00. Is this enough time or to much time? -
Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011I didn't say 50% of the questions, I meant 50% of the interview. I spoke about the NHS for a lot of my interview, and they they probed deeper etc.(Original post by Medicz)

Re: Newcastle Medicine Applicants 2011You don't if you don't want to. Pretty deep, but that might be because I was leading it. I know a lot about the NHS.(Original post by Medicz)
