Speak from heart and if you have a group discussion speak up and make sure you get our point across ! Know the role of what an odp does in all aspects from circulating to anaesthetics . Know something current going on in the nhs related to theatres or odp . Good luck 
Thankyou!
I've got most of that prepared so should be okay hopefully! Did you get asked questions about a scenario in your interview last year? I have been sent one about a woman having an emergency hysterectomy Original post by nessnoodle
Hi Bex, congratulations on your offer, can you tell me how your day went, what was the layout of the day, how did you find the english and maths test and were you able to use a calculator? ;-)
Thanks
When is your interveiw? when you get your invitation for interveiw you should have got an attachment with description of course and it has examples english and maths test in it. The english and maths test were very similar to these and at the same level, I would say. You can't use a calculator unfortunately (I wish you could!!) You need to be able to do long division, long multiplication, and fractions. The english test is a passage of text to read and answer questions on and at the end it asks you to write 2 paragraphs on your views on the same subject. It depends where your academic stregnths lie on how you find these. Personally, I found the english test quite easy but I felt that I struggled with the maths. I'm terrible at maths and always have been. It's also 12 years since I did gcse maths so had to go online on bbc gcse bitesize maths beforehand and re-teach myself how to do long division/multiplication etc! I'm pretty sure me doing this helped me scrape a pass with maths and would recommend doing this!The layout of the day is a quick intro, english test (30mins), maths test (20mins), then a bit of a wait and then individual interviews. You can leave as soon as your individual interveiw has finished. Mine lasted 15 minutes. I was crazy nervous the whole time and honestly thought my interview went really badly as my mind went blank a few times when they asked me stuff (nerves!) and I didn't get to say a few things that I meant to. But I got a place so happy days! Hope yours goes well and you get a place!

What do they ask you overall at edge hill? do they do that scenario thing where they put you in a situation and ask you what would you do? :-/
I think my scenario was what would you do if a patient messed themselves? You have to describe one of the phases and things such as why an odp over a nurse/midwife

Thank you ever so much for this information. I didn't have a clue about what sort of questions they ask as I haven't had any interviews yet and it's my first time applying for uni... I'm a mature student so I feel a little rusty and a little out of place. Thanks for writing all this, now I can prepare myself a bit more!!! Good luck and I know you're going to do great on your course!

hi, I had my interveiw in early November and got a place in edge hill. They ask you how you heard about the course/profession and why you want to be an ODP. They ask you to choose an area of perioperative practice (eg anaesthetics/scrub/recovery) and ask you to describe, in detail, what you think your role as an ODP would be in that area and qualities you think are important to have. They also ask you to talk about a current issue affecting the nhs. The english and maths test is 1st, then interveiws with 2 staff. Hope this helps, good luck!!

no problem! I know how nerve wracking it is and it's so much easier to feel confident and prepared if you know what's coming! Good luck with your interview and hopefully I'll see you in Sept when you get your place on the course fingers crossed!

You did seem to take ages, they got shorter and shorter so they obviously were getting tired by the end of it haha, but sounds like you did well
fingers crossed!Same here dude. Fingers crossed we'll hear something! I've applied for Cardiff, BCU, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Oxford Brooke's in Swindon I wonder how long they'll keep us waiting to hear something back!
Also is anyone going to the ODP open day in Cardiff on Jan 4th?

Hi there, I'm Sam! Would like to join in on this thread please.
Is anyone applying to Cardiff? I am just waiting for my tutor to sign off on my personal statement and do my reference.
Feeling very nervous as Cardiff is my only choice.
