You had training for your voluntary work?? :eek:

Most likely:
- Leicester
- BSMS
- Nottingham
- Keele
- Leicester, Medicinal Chemistry

Yeah, still have more to do D: They space out each event by about a month so it takes ages to get anywhere. (Volunteering as a mealtime assistant feeding inpatients so need lots of training about stuff xD)

Awww really?!? Hospitals have insane amounts of regulations etc. we had to learn about how to safely lift a box D:

But yeah, we have to learn about thickening foods, which patients are at risk of malnutrition, protocols if things go wrong, e.g choking D:

It should be goood, and if I don't get in this year, it will be definite gap year material. At least it's experience in a hospital which is always useful :biggrin:

I've got other voluntary/teamworky stuff! I think I started applying for this hospital work in about June...still getting trained up for it D: Luckily I was able to do loads of voluntary stuff while I was as school, though I've tried to compensate for it in other areas but I still feel really inferior when compared to everyone on here :frown:

I've got enough for my personal statement, I'm going to continue to find more even after the deadline as I hate when people consider it as just a box ticking exercise :/

I've considered some of it as a box-ticking exercise :colondollar:

So have you decided on where you're applying to / your backup?

I'm not really sure where, but it'll probably be biomed or life sciences. :colondollar:

Not because I particularly want to do GEM, but if I don't get the A2 grades and leave no backup, I'll have wasted a year. :redface:

But Barts and HYMS are still battling it out in my mind as a 4th option for A100. -_-
