Speech and Language Therapy entry 2012

Has anybody recieved anything from NHS bursaries yet? My friend doing physiotherapy elsewhere has been invited to apply, so we should be pretty soon hopefully

OOh that's exciting! I haven't heard anything yet but I just wanna get it out the way!

I haven't been invited but i went onto the website and found a link to complete it, and then just got an email from them saying what evidence i need to send them and stuff so my application can be processed

Thanks! Yeah in pretty sure thats what she said, im
sure she said it's a block placement? I thought we done that as well so maybe they have changed it x

Yeah, it's like a 2 week placement I think!

She emailed me back with last years prepatory reading list, they haven't decided this years one yet, but she said there won't be drastic changes. The 3 books they suggest are:


Phonetics
Clark, J. & Yallop, C. (1995) An Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology. Oxford: Blackwell.
Chapters 2 and 6

Linguistics

Speech and Language Therapy
Bray, M., Ross, A. & Todd, C. (2006) Speech and Language Clinical Process and Practice 2nd Edition. London: Whurr.
Chapter 1

and a website for language acquisition:

Sheffield have asked me today to pay £44 for a CRB check that needs to be paid for before the 31st of May. I can't really afford it/don't want to pay it if I can't use it for Newcastle because I don't think i'm going to end up at Sheffield, does anyone know if I can transfer it (so if I pay, it's not a waste?)

Anyone know what the chances of getting a place through adjustment are? I know you can do it for other courses but don't know if ours will be too oversubscribed to let us haha x

I thought we would maybe have more placement! That's good she emailed back, thanks for letting me know :-) how exiting!! (how sad am I, excited about a reading list!!)

CRB checks are non-transferable, as they have the name of the institution on them. I'm surprised it's not free though, as mine was and so was some other ones at different unis, or is Sheffield offering to reimburse you?

It also says in the letter to send the placement form in...I'm guessing that's the sheet that says "Information for Arranging Summer Block Placements" at the top? It asks us on that what our Sheffield Address is, but we don't know that yet do we?! How are we meant to fill it in and send it by the 31st of May (along with the CRB form) if we don't actually know that stuff yet? confuuuuused.

Has anyone applied/know how to apply for the nhs bursary please? ... Just applied for student finance and I'm now clueless!

I don't have any other forms apart from those ones, so it must be. I don't know either, I also don't know if i'll be able to drive in two years time or where i'll be living over that summer,it seems a bit early to be asking this stuff!

Has anyone else firmed Strathclyde? or still only 3 of us haha? X
