ive applied for 1 Scottish medical school , as a ruk applicant , will I need to know about the Scottish NHS , is it even any different .?
There's a few differences -- lack of prescription charges, for one, and we call them "health boards" rather than "trusts". To be honest, though, they're going to be more interested in if you understand *that uni* and the course itself; it would be rare for any applicant to have a comprehensive understanding of health policy, Scottish or not. I mean, I'm Scottish and mentioned Gillick competency in my interview, not realising that that specific case doesn't apply here, and we have slightly different legislation.
Do you have any specific questions I could help with? I'm a final year student at Glasgow.
