hello I am afirst year student at SHU and you don't need experience as I didn't have any at all in health environment. Just knowledge of what ODP is. interviews easy, no maths or English test.


Thank you, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to calm down. I've learnt my stuff but my nerves are terrible.

Mine was downstairs, one of mine was a bit plain faced too sohard to read. We've done all We can now, We'll find out within a fortnight of we didn't get in so no news is good news. X

Yeh true! Least we didn't have tests or group discussion! I've only applied to Teesside! Xx
Hi everyone, I'm playing the waiting game now having submitted my UCAS a couple of weeks ago. I've applied to ARU (both campuses), Bedford and LSBU. I've wanted to be an ODP for the past 5 years, a long time coming - I'm currently doing Access in Life Science and have been working for 2 years in a theatre as a circulator - still working part time. I've also got 4 years A&E experience, working as a HCA in adults and paediatrics and overtime on the kids ward and I also worked as a nanny for premature triplets (lots of medication giving and hospital stays!). I'm getting SO nervous now. I just want an interview!!!
Just got an offer for Surrey wooh!

How have you prepered for it 🙈 I had one in Surrey at the start of the month and have gotten a place, but edge hill is a different type of interview eugh :frown:
On my breaks at work I test myself to make sure I know everything ODP inside out. I suppose that's all we can do. I had to stop myself learning speeches...I don't want to sound too unnatural. Urgh. What did you do?
