Has everyone finished their interviews now?


I guess so. I mean there may be a few currently taking place, but as there is only 12 Audiology places and that is all that was interviewing today. Then yeah I certainly would have thought so.
This wait is killing me.

We're definitely not going to hear anything before 9th May unless we've failed a station. And even then they might just leave it until then anyway, it's going to be a long 10 days!
I guess they may update them to Interview complete/unsuccessful today. All the interviews are done now and the last time they did it it seemed to be done for interviews that had just taken place as well as for ones that were over a week earlier. Though obvs that is just speculation and still doesn't really give much information!!

Mine was only last week, I'm so glad it wasn't one of the early ones.

Both Medical Physics and Clinical Bioinformatics (Physical) you?
[QUOTE=DuckyMinotaur;64464265]Both Medical Physics and Clinical Bioinformatics (Physical) you?

Cardiaco and vascular! Think I let nerves get the better of me in my cardiac interview and I messed up a station in the vascular interview I think but it's not over until it's over I guess!

I completely messed up my clinical bio specialist station so just waiting for it to change from interview booked to unsuccessful, but there's always a chance

I really felt I had messed up a station in the first week. But that changed to complete, so doesn't really mean anything definite (at least not at this stage). There is always hope until you see unsuccessful :biggrin:!!

I've not actually heard anyone on here or at the interviews say they thought all stations had gone well. Also it's all averaged out so one station shouldn't necessarily be an issue!

But the scheme is all about coding and that was the bit I completely messed up, I'm hoping for the med phys one anyway so it's not too bad :smile:

Me too! Developed an unhealthy obsession of regularly checking Oriel! But I think you guys are right in saying we probably won't hear anything until next or the week after...and if I ever get lots of notification from studentroom, it means something has updated haha x
Yeah the wait is truly awful, am desperate to know if I got a place but we've still got a while to wait! We have all invested a lot into this process so I hope we are successful!
Everyone be sure to update us in this thread if things change on your Oriel. Good luck! :smile:

I emailed the NSHCS Tuesday I think asking when we could expect to hear back. I got a response back about 10 minutes later apologising that they were still interviewing at that time and to keep checking Oriel, however it's unlikely results will be released before 9th May. Just over a week left, We've done three weeks of it now, just a bit longer 😣

Is there any way to change referee details? I can't see the option any more.


Hey, probably not worth worrying about it too much at the mo, not worth going to any trouble then finding out your unsuccessful. So my advice would be to wait for results then sort it out. As for sorting it out, it should be fine I reckon. I contacted them before applying as j was a bit uncertain if I could get hold of my previous employer, they just said it could be sorted later in the process, so I'd assume they can be changed once successful :smile:
I can't take another week of waiting 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Me either! I feel sick. 3 and a half weeks is too long to wait to hear back about a job! It's killing me!
I can't stop checking here and Oriel for updates!
Maybe it's part of the application process, seeing if any of us crack :tongue:!!!
