Warwick GEM programme 2022

Is anyone here using the vaccinator role as their work experience for the application? I previously emailed them to ask if they accepted the COVID19 vaccinator role as work experience and they said they did. It's also now included on their website which is great, it says "COVID vaccinator roles (vaccinators only – greeting/marshalling is not included)". I'm technically down as a vaccinator, but I don't physically give the vaccine, I help the RN who gives the vaccine. My role is to confirm the patients details/enter the details into the system/distract the person whilst they get the vaccine etc. So I'm not a vaccinator, but nor am I greeting/marshalling. Does anyone know if this is acceptable?

I am trying to get more hands-on experience at the moment, but it's been difficult for a number of reasons unfortunately.

Hi guys, just thought I’d jump in here as well. Just graduated from my degree in medical physiology (got my results today which was a 2:1 yehoo).

I’ve been eyeing Warwick uni up for the past 2-3 years but the daunting thing is just the ucat for me. Tried last year and flopped so badly (didn’t even make the 600 average). Going to give another try this year and only give myself no more than 4 weeks.

I’ve been working as a cardiac technician for some time and have also got previous experience as a care worker from last year. I’m going to ask if I can shadow one of the consultants In the department for a few days and hopefully my work experience part should be okay.

Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, do you know if Warwick asks for evidence of work experience on the ucas application, or if they ask for it after you have applied, if so- when do they ask as I am worried I might not get the references in time

Hi all, I thought I would introduce myself. I graduated with a 2:1 from chemical engineering in 2019, I’ve got work experience working as a health care assistant for 2 different employers. This is my second time applying as I applied last year and was rejected pre interview, probably due to my UCAT. My UCAT score was 2690 last year with band 2 so I’m hoping that this year I can achieve higher! Apparently the cut off last year was 2720 so I think I just about didn’t make it which is kinda annoying :/

hi there, i'm currently doing mechanical engineering and I'm finding it difficult to get a job as a HCA. where and how did you apply for it?

Hiya, I basically made a CV and tailored it to health care jobs. I put on the CV that I already had experience as a HCA. Then I did a phone interview which was really easy just had to research the company. I applied for a nursing home with a company called Maria Mallaband as a healthcare assistant. It was pretty easy to get! Hope that helps

hii everyone! I am planning to apply for GEM at Warwick in 2022 for 2023 entry (I'm doing Optometry atm), but having issues with work experience as I've only got 20 hours so far - does anyone know if Warwick care when the work experience was? Like if I complete the 70hours just a few weeks before my application is that fine? Or do they prefer if it was like evenly spread out over the last 3/4 years? Because of COVID most places aren't accepting Thank youuu

Keep checking the application element of the WMS MBChB website but you can usually have work experience that tracks right up to the day of submission. It would normally have to be within 3 years of the day of submission but they may well change things again due to Covid, e.g., 4 year window. Unlikely that they would ask for you to have it spread out.

They absolutely do not care if it was a few weeks before application or if it was 3-4 months before. As long as it was 3-4 years before application. So for 2023 entry it would have to be from 15th of October 2020 to the 15th of October 2023. Hope that helps!
