I'm on reserve shortlist for my first choice (Haem + Transfusion) but got an Interview for my second choice (Histo + Immuno) woohoo!

Because there are only 2 places for haematology I think the competition must have been extremely tight, so try not to feel too bad about it. Though I know it's hard not to. I was rejected for Biochemistry today so I know how it feels. :frown: I'm waiting to hear back for Genetics too! I wish you the best of luck! :smile:


Aw thanks. You too, best of luck! Hope things turn out well for you :smile:

I am sure that they had no intension to frustrate candidates. It must be something wrong with the automated system.
Has any candidate for Medical Physics noticed any changes in status?


Nothing from Medical Physics yet!
Let me know if youhear anything

Does anyone know about the sort of questions they ask in the interview? Like, how much information/detail do they expect for the science specialism questions?

Tell me about it! If immunology just came through today, then in order of interview... If my calculations are correct... Only 12 more disciplines till cardiac 😫

Does anybody know the likelihood of getting an interview if you're on the reserve list? Shortlist reserve for both clinical biochemistry and H&I 😬

I think it just depends on if someone drops out at the interview stage, and then they'll invite the next highest ranking candidate to interview. There are as many reserves as there are places, eg repro sci has 7 places, so will interview 21 with 7 reserves.
Hope this helps and you get an interview! :smile:

Wonder what will come out today... my husband was reserved for histo and immuno. I am sure I won't get even reserved for repro so we are both waiting on genetics now. Hopefully will be out in a few days!

Out of interest those who got an interview what does it say as status, interview or shortlisted?
Thanks and congrats to those who did!

They just tweeted saying everyone should hear by end of next week!
It says "Interview" or "Interview (Booked)" depending on whether or not you've booked it :-)
