NHS Graduate Management Training Scheme 2015

This is mostly guess work. But 300 are through to the AC and they are split in accordance to how many spaces there are for each position. So there are 100 vacancies in total. The majority for GM (lets say 50) and less for the rest. So estimating (from things/rumours I've heard) 15 Health Info, 15 HR and 20 Finance.

If my estimates and calculations are correct, they'll interview 150 GMs, 45 HR, 45 HI and 60 F.

I would say your chances are quite high. Some people may of accepted other jobs by now or the 20th as lots of grad schemes finish by then. Some may not be able to make the date for personal reasons or other commitments. Some may just decide from the interview its not for them. And remember the 8 above you in the reserve list may not answer their phone in the x hours time slot or may not be able to do the date given to them. Just be really flexible, check your phone and you'll have a good chance. Good luck.

Research a smidgen harder, ie. using the FB page

From that, 100 General, 100 Finance, 60 HI and 30HR.

For my year (2014 intake) there were 102 jobs. Rough split was 50% General, 25% Finance, 15% HI and 10% HR (the last two I am less sure of). General is always half. Finance is usually always significantly less. I would be surprised if they were hiring the same amount of Finance as General trainees.

Hey All,

I am due to attend the assessment centre and I am PANICKING!

I need some help please.

Looking at the Wendelstone Case Study, I don't understand what the arrows mean? I have tried to look on the internet and I am getting no where! Can anyone shed any light please?

Also when I look at the results on the Infection Control section - I do not understand the difference between total cases and No of cases?

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm impressed guestimates were pretty close I'm surprised they interview so many finance if they hire significantly less. I was told by the trainees at the interview it was split in accordance to vacancies. Finance must be a hard one to get into!

How did you find the 2014 AC. Is there any advice you would give?

Hey, those who have done the assessment day already, was the assessment centre cool or warm?

Lol, what a random question. It was room temperature really, although you feel a bit warmer towards the ened because of the pressure of certain tasks.

To be honest, without looking at the numbers I would have assumed it was done in proportion. Unless they are hiring the same amount of Finance as Generals this year. So we don't know either way I guess.

Cliche advice is the best I'm afraid. Be yourself, keep calm and remember to be confident. You're at the AC because you're good enough to be there, don't go trying to measure yourself against anybody else. There are different activities on the day so don't feel like you're a right off if you think you do disastrously at one. When myself and colleagues got feedback, I think it was quite usual some of us had done abysmal in one area, amazing in another and not too bad on the others type of thing. So no matter how tempted you feel, don't throw in the towel keep going and be optimistic

I'm currently studying nursing, but I'm thinking of going for a non-clinical role once I graduate. Do people think the scheme would look positively on someone like me who has had practical healthcare experience, but hasn't worked on the wards as an RN? I mean I think it would be a good background in many ways but I don't want to be seen as betraying nursing or something.

It wouldn't go against you, I'm sure you have ward experience from placements etc? Lots of trainees have clinical backgrounds. Some fancy something different, others feel like they have more to give in non clinical areas
