NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP) 2014

I got 36.75! xx

Are there any people who got offers for Genomics here? I just want to find out if there is any hope of an upgrade for me, or whether I should just cancel the automatic upgrade and prepare to move.

Wow you weren't far off then (not sure if that makes it easier or not lol!) - what were your location choices? I wonder if people had very similar scores (hence the .25, .75 etc in the scores). But at least you know you were close, and next year you'll at least know what to expect at interview etc. best of luck to you

Birmingham was my first choice, Liverpool 2^nd, and Leeds 3^rd.

After being told that I ranked 8th and there are 9 posts, I think that I should just accept the fact that I will not be able to get any of my choices.

Having said that, do you know what rank you were assigned?

I sent an e-mail yesterday asking for my score but they haven't responded yet I didn't think they were giving out ranks!

I'm not sure how much movement there will be but as people had to respond within 48 hours I think we'll probably hear within the next couple of days.

Where is your current offer for? Do you know where our uni will be?

I know that Sheffield wasn't one of your choices but I was offered Sheffield for both genetics and genomics and accepted genetics. If someone ranked higher upgrades and gets sheffield there may still be a chance you get upgraded too.

Wow, Congrats on being offered both of your choices! You have just given me hope for an upgrade.Thanks

I was offered Liverpool for both genetics and genomics and I opted for genetics

So Liverpool genomics should be available to someone for an upgrade

Also means someone on reserve list should get a job

Congrats to all successful and commiserations to those who weren't! I've just emailed requesting my scores and ranks so will let ppl know

Hi guys, does anyone know if there is parking provided by St Andrews football club or did people park elsewhere? Thanks

Hi,

There is plenty of parking at the football club. There is one smaller car park (which was was quite empty when I went) and then a very large main car park right next to it. You should have no trouble parking.

There are also a few shops across the road from the football club.

Hi guys, does anyone know if there is parking provided by St Andrews Stadium or did people park elsewhere? Thanks

Yes definitely plenty of car parking there - when I went, the NSHCS lady told me there was hardly any parking, and I'd probably have to walk at least 15 minutes to get to the ground, so was quite surprised to find a really big car park with lots of empty spaces

The main entrance for the interviews is the Kop entrance (or was for biochem anyway) so the car park is off Cattell Road. That's the easiest one (although there are other car parks around the football stadium too).

Good luck!

Did anyone get the train to Birmingham? If so how did you get from the City Centre to the stadium and how long did it take? Thanks

Car parking is also free, just in case anyone was wondering!

Is there anyone who has accepted an offer and heard anything since? I know the guidance says it should be handled by the end of June but that seems an awfully long time to wait before getting the ball rolling...

Having worked in several NHS trusts, I know how long it can sometimes take for occupational health clearance, CRB checks, HR checks etc.!
