Nottingham Pharmacy interview HELP!

Ok so has any of you been to the interview? I don't know what Integrating science and clinical practice means, what do they mean by that? I am paranoid and scared because I have so much to do right now and now the interview, I have no idea how to prepare! Thanks! Take care

Ok so has any of you been to the interview? Can you tell me what kind of questions do they ask? And what's up with the 7 stations, I don't know what Integrating science and clinical practice means, what do they mean by that? I am paranoid and scared because I have so much to do right now and now the interview, I have no idea how to prepare! Thanks! Take care


My friend went to one two weeks ago. It's not too difficult. I think she said she found the interview a bit difficult. She found her notts interview more difficult than her kings' one.

I completely agree that people shouldn't be put at an unfair advantage but I don't think that would put anyone at an advantage to be honest, no interview questions were mentioned, it just says what the group task is about but the idea of the group task is so they can see how you communicate with each other, not how fast you can all get to the answer :smile:

Drives me mad when people post all of the questions they were asked, or when they pm you like 'hi ive got a nottingham interview tell me the questions they asked please' :rolleyes:

You'd be surprised! People who haven't even got offers yet are telling other people the exact questions asked. And then of course a lot of people do get offers and thing 'ah well it doesn't affect me anymore if I tell other people the answers', I was on the very first day of Nottingham interviews so I didn't have a clue what could be asked and then got put on hold, and had to sit and wait whilst other interviewees were being told exactly what questions will come up :rolleyes:

And no I thought it was fine to be honest but I'd prepped all the pharmacy related questions really well. Struggled a bit with the chemistry questions but that's my fault for not revising properly. I've applied for Notts, Birmingham, Keele, Aston and Durham :smile: you?

so unfair, and some people dont bother doing any work because they know what's coming up and sounds easier than it is, but anyway hopefully you'll get an offer. is that where you want to go?

Geology, I applied to UCL, Bristol (most likely firm), Manchester (most likely insurance), Birmingham, and Durharm (withdrew today). Offers from the first four.

Fair enough, if u don't firm after visiting Bristol I'll stress out. Once it's done it's done. Are they all AAB?

Guys I didn't mean to get any answers I just kinda hoped to know what the clinical stuff even means :smile: I found it online now though, so please don't feel that I tried to get your answers or anything. I already asked my teacher what that stuff means so it's all good

Don't worry I wasn't referring to you :smile: I was talking about people who just pm me or post on the 2014 applicants page saying 'tell me all the questions and what answers you gave', so rude haha I don't even bother replying to them
