Re: Hospital Pre-reg Applicants 2012Bridgend sounds really good to. I did visit swansea (singleton) but was a bit too far for me. Almost a 45min drive and want to move back home for pre-reg year to save the money. You got any other pre-reg's sorted?(Original post by R89)
i put bridgend 1st, royal glam 2nd, merthyr 3rd and neath 4th
mine are at 11.50 and 12.30
yeh we get to re-rank them tomorrow and tick any others in wales we would consider going to as well i think.
glam is the closest to me as well but had a placement in bridgend
Hope preparations are going ok for tomorrow, good luck! -

I was also at the hillingdon interview...hi! In addition to the above, as I live away from home they asked me how I coped and how the transition was. Other than that, I had exactly the same questions
They were really basic calculation questions.
Heyyyy was really nice seeing you today ,,i was asked the same questions ...btw do we hear back today or tomorrow ? -

Re: Hospital Pre-reg Applicants 2012Hi guys thought I'd add a few more questions to the bank. These were the UCLH qs:
1) What have you been up to in the summer
2) Role of clinical pharmacist
3) What does MRSA stand for and is it gram pos or neg. What drug(s) would you use to treat mrsa and other protocols in place for a person who has mrsa
4) What are low molecular weight heparins and compare them to traditional heparins
5) Care of the elderly? What issues would you be concerned as a pharmacist when dealing with elderly patients?
6) What do u know about cpd?
People who have st georges interview tomorrow please share questions. -

Re: Hospital Pre-reg Applicants 2012Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone had an issue with having a place with Boots for pre-reg and also applying to hospital and what everyone has done about it? I know that after asking advice, I was told by many pharmacists to accept Boots and then decline later, but I wasn't too sure what everyone else is doing if they get their hospital offers at the places where they would want to work! Thankss

Re: Hospital Pre-reg Applicants 2012so as useful as it is to post the exact questions in an interview, i'm not sure its a good idea. Whilst we want each other to get the jobs we want; we are in competition. By putting the exact questions up you are putting yourself at a disadvantage as anyone having the interview after you can be better prepared and have model answers! I think it would be better just to give an overview of the type such as they asked a couple of clinical, a couple about the hospital etc. etc.
Note: I'm not getting at anyone but trying to help!! -

Re: Hospital Pre-reg Applicants 2012I declined their offer as it is unprofessional to accept if you intend to decline later, that's what GpHC advised me to do. I also asked boots to keep me on hold just in case...(Original post by StarDime007)

Re: Hospital Pre-reg Applicants 2012Actually it is fair...do you think that people won't try other ways to get interview questions? At least everyone will be at the same level, no-one will have a upper hand.(Original post by xTashax15)

Also, the questions are very common...I think everyone is prepared for why pharmacy, why this hospital etc. I don't want to be rude but this competition malarkey is silly, if you are good enough and work hard for your interview, you won't need to worry about any of this.
Thank you! What hospital is your interview for?(Original post by RSK@Port)
Good Luck to those having interviews in portsmouth today!!!!Last edited by petzneo; 20-09-2011 at 10:32. -
