NHS Scientist Training Programme 2018 Applicants

Has anyone whose enrolled at University of Manchester actually received any other information regarding the course apart from the Welcome Pack? I've received the welcome pack a while ago however I havent had any contact with them since.

Is anyone else yet to receive their contract of employment? I've completed all parts of the HR process (DBS, ID, references etc).

Also does anyone know what the shift pattern is like on the STP or are the shifts different for each specialism? Just curious if it'll be the standard 9-5. Thanks! 🙂

I received a few e-mails from the course organiser regarding the University dates etc. and they said they'll contact me with more details closer to the start of the course.

Hmm thats strange, I havent received anything. I've emailed the admissions for some more information. Did you have to complete any tasks after registering for the IT account? I've made the account and I have no tasks on my to-do list yet my application is 'incomplete' and I havent received an update on their decision to accept me onto the course.

I didn’t have to do anything after filling in the pgt application form as instructed (I didn’t even register for an IT account as they just reactivated my old one from when I was previously a student, haha) I did poke around on self service and found my application was success, though I didn’t actually get an email or anything aside from the generic UoM welcome pack.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it, if the admissions people aren’t very helpful or don’t respond quickly I’d get in touch with Amanda Benson, I’m assuming she deals with all the MSc stuff for all the specialisms at Manchester.

does anyone have any idea what the university schedule is like, contacted Manc uni but no one replied, if it's 5 days full-on then I'll prob need to arrange accommodation, if not then I can use the train at stay at home

Hi

I'd love to apply for STP 2019 entry, but I don't finish my BSc with The Open University until October 2019! Did anyone else study with the OU and have an extra year to wait? I'm already working for the NHS in the area in which I want to remain (Genetics/Genomics), so I'll be able to get an extra year of lab experience, but does anyone have any advice of what else to do, such as CPD courses? Is it even worth me pursuing a Master's before applying to the STP?

Thanks
