I have just started the Access course and will be applying to Uni's for 2014 to study ODP. We have had a UCAS application talk today and it now all seems very real and daunting.
I have no idea where to start with my personal statement. I have been working as a HCA at a hospital for a year and now doing Bank shifts for the same trust to fit around college, it's hard work! I have also been very lucky to shadow ODPs for a couple of shifts. This included following the patients from start to finish so got to understand their full experiance. I got to observe laparotomy surgery, vascular, an amputation and eye surgery. I really hope this is enough experiance as to get the grades I need on the Access I don't have time to fit any more in!
I am glad I have found others that are applying as I'm the only one on my course. No one on it even knows what it is!
