NHS Clinical Scientist Recruitment

I haven't heard either and this is an e-mail response I've got from MSC

"We appreciate the timing difficulties however I am not in a position to be able to confirm an outcome for you except to say that it is possible that you are going to be recommended for a post but the final checks are still being made so this is an unconfirmed position at present.

I suspect that we will not be in a position to confirm this with you until Wednesday next week so apologies if you feel this is not helpful to your situation but at this stage I am unable to offer any further advice. "


And I need a decision NOW and it's even more painful as it's not a "no" from them
Aaaarghhh... Don't know what to do now

I meant to quote you...
The checks are double checking our scores. Sounds to me like you have an offer but she cannot confirm it until the scores have been recounted.

Am I missing something - what part of england isn't cold and wet??!! I think you'd regret it if you turned it down..

i rang, got put on hold.....then told they were sending it to me now.

i got the job...

....but in HULL!!

i wanted anywhere that wasn't north...anywhere but Hull lol
hmmmmmm

(and the refs and CRB checks will be done after the offer, as its a condition of the offer)

I appreciate where you're coming from, moving to a place you've got no interest in living in is quite daunting. I applied to Oxford, and having been here for 4 years I wasn't sure if I really want to stay here longer....of course if I get a reserve place for it I'll snap it up! I guess you've just got to mull the pros and cons.

Seeing my friend's celebratory Facebook update on her place and all my friends' congratulations is pretty hard to take, must admit.

Also I'm a he for whoever it was who thought I was a she!

Heya! It is a small world after all. Stream 3 at 11.20? Name beginning with H?

I think we all made some mistakes during the interview, just have to see how it all goes. I just want to know the result now, it is so frustrating. Let me know when you hear. If I didn't get the post, I would be happy knowing that you got it instead

I was wondering, if you applied to a region like London, would the letter say just 'London' or do they choose where you go within the region and state a specific trust on the offer letter?

Well as
bestbefore1989's friend knows she got a place at King's, it would be a specific trust Which makes sense, as applications were to specific trusts as well.

I see what your saying, I did apply to a specific trust BUT that specific trust was acting as a representative for that region. Anyway, it doesn't matter - hopefully a week or so more to wait and we will soon find out.

Hey :-) Yep, it does!

Hmm I'm trying not to think about it, have my dissertation and coursework to think/stress about! So all I'm doing is just checking my e-mail and coming on here. Will do! Let me know how you do too.

Still dissertation and coursework!? When do you exams start? Mine start on Thursday. Good luck!

I have an exam on thursday too. It's so hard to concentrate on it cos I keep thinking about this!! good luck!!!

Tell me about it, my exams are Tuesday-Thursday-Friday (and then Monday-Tuesday next week!!)... And my mind constantly wanders
And browsing TSR doesn't help either

It must be worse for you cos you it looks like you might have a place but they wont say!! I bet your having to put a hold on your excitement until you know for sure.. Im certain you will get it..

Hi, i've been following this thread for a while now, as i've applied for nhs clinical scientist training for the past two years, and yet never to have been shortlisted. Its obvious that this year i've not been successful, so was wondering if anyone would be willing to share what kinds of experience they have / grades / qualificatons, that may have given them the edge to be shortlisted for interview. or if anyone knows a link to a thread that has this advice, that would be helpful.
