Just putting the facebook group out there again for any offer holders!

I'm sure Newcastle give out way more offers than there are people in the group, so I'm trying to think of ways to recruit. Ideas?

Anywhere safe yes, it's unlikely they'll allow you to go to Afghanistan, Iraq, or certain areas of Pakistan.

Correct, and this year they changed the rules so you have to spend all 8 weeks in one country, so no backpacking about. Though they do allow you to go to different hospitals within the country, or split it between the UK and a foreign country.

Everything is core throughout the course, you don't get to pick the courses. SSCs start from 2nd year.

Most of the stuff is intro stuff, but later in the week you have stuff about DNA etc. which is not too difficult so don't worry. Freshers week is freshers week. :p:

Does anyone know whether applying to Durham and Newcastle counts as 2 separate options or whether together collectively they count as one?

2 separate options if you apply to Newcastle twice and put both Newcastle and Durham as the campus codes.
