Paramedic interview

Hey,
I've jsut started my paramedic course at SGUL, it's awesome! Have you got an interview? As long as your bubbly and smiley...have some examples of difficult situations you've had to deal with/team work/own initiative etc (the usual interview stuff!)
Also, look up LAS...and really importantly the Bradley report (2005)
Where you think the LAS/paramedic service is heading
and why you want to be a paramedic!

Hope this helps

Good Luck!!

Hey,

Im really rubbish, and can't remember when they got back to me! Sorry! But don't worry, some uni's just take longer than others! How are your other applications going?
Hope you get the place at SGUL that you want

Hiya

How was your interview for Herts (questions, format etc) I have an interview in a couple of weeks, and I really, really want to go to Herts Any help much appreciated!

Harri

Hey Harri,

Format is a lecture for admissions tutor and then from a LAS paramedic.

Question's (from what i have heard) were standardised for everyone. 6 questions. 3 each from both interviewers:
- Why Paramedic
- Explain difficult situation you've come up against
- What did you learn from the article
- What does the role of a paramedic entail

And 2 more which i have forgotten. But i'm pretty sure they were more personal so like challenge you think you'd come up against on the course and what makes you the best candidate.

Really friendly environment. Don't be afraid to ask questions and just be your bubbly self. Try to overcome the nerves!

Hope that helps =)

Is hertfordshire one of the ones that do a fitness test? I've applied there and lets just say i'm not as fit as i'd like

No it isn't

Hey Rachel,
I was good i think. I said everything i wanted to and everything i could have.

Yeh, they said they're interviewing around one hundred and twenty people for twenty one spaces...

PLEASE HELP!!! WHAT IS THE BRADLEY REPORT ?!?!?!?

DO YOU NEED TO REED 2011'S BRADLEY REPORT OR ... ?!

thanks in advance

The first Bradley/Taking Healthcare to the Patient report was published in 2005. The 2011 one is a 6 year review of the progress of the first report.

It would definitely be worth having a look them both and familiarising yourself with the kind of things they talk about. You don't need to know them inside out, but having a general overview is definitely worthwhile incase you're asked anything about it at interview.
