NHS Scientist Training Programme 2016 applicants!

Same here Hurriya. 1st reserve, not heard anything yet. My hopes are almost gone now.. Let me know if you hear anything

Same iv loat all hope too now i feel as though al reserves have heard by now, what specialism did you apply?i will if you hear do let me know

I'm in a similar position with my girlfriend (she doesn't know where she'll be). But I think I'll be looking for a house share too I guess. I don't think I've ever been to Nottingham but I've heard its nice!

I am for clinical Engineering. We should be very unlucky to have it co close and not have it.. I feel for you..

Im for Audiology I think both our specialsms are the ones where people dont drop out because theres nothing really linked to it, i know would be extremely unlucky i really hope we do get it

Hey Guys!
I am currently finishing my placement year of my degree and going into my final year (stage 4) of Human Biosciences. I am really interested in the Genomics programme however I have noticed that there is obviously A LOT of competition for this. I was just wondering what people have done to strengthen their applications? And are my chances reduced as I will apply for 2017 straight out of my Bachelors degree?

I have already completed a Placement in Molecular Neurogenetics for one Year in the Netherlands, and I also have written my own publication for the American Journal, but I am not sure whether this will be enough reading all of these threads!!!! It feels like time is running out for me to get any more experience further to this.

Also, when will all the open days be ran for next year?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi all!

After 3 years of applying I have been offered Genomics at Manchester! I cannot believe it!
I imagine the reserves might hear more as the offers expire at about 12.20 so then they'll be able to move things around.

I don't suppose anyone reading this is going to be the other trainee at Manchester? It would be nice to say hello before September!
Best of luck to everyone else who is still to get an offer! x

Hi Katie,

Congratulations for your offered position in Manchester! I got offered a position in Genomics there too! It's great to have found the other trainee before starting the position. I am looking forward to meeting you and working together. Have you heard anything from Manchester yet? I'm still waiting, but hopefully will hear soon.

Turns out my boyfriend probably won't find out until late September where he's going to be based, so looks like I'm looking for a house share :'

Hi Katie,

Thank you for the information, it's good to know a rough time frame. I'm excited about moving and starting the STP. At the moment I'm living in Norwich and will move to Manchester before the start. Did you have a chance to speak with current trainees in Manchester specifically? Will you have to move far to start your training post?

Ah okay, do you know of anyone else who got a place at Nottingham? We could possibly look at sorting a house share between the iNottingham trainees?

yes, that's true. This is my second year applying. I only apply for clinical engineering every time because I cannot even find anything any similar in any other specialisms to give as a second option. Wish you all the best and hoping to hear some good news soon.

Hey guys, has anyone been able to find out the university that is providing the Genomics course for 2016 trainees? I know it hadn't been announced a while ago and still can't seem to find it.

I'm sure there was a link a couple of pages back to say it was Manchester. http://mahse.co.uk/our-programmes/postgraduate/
