Unfortunately we don't allow discussion of specific interview questions or topics as it can give candidates an unfair advantage.

We have generic guidance which you can find here:

All the information you really need is on the website:
'An invitation, for those short listed for interview will be sent to the candidate by email.
Up to 60 candidates will be called to the interview event which will be a full day. There will be various information sessions and activities:

1.

The main selection activity of the day is the group interview lasting around one hour, involving anything from 9 to 13 candidates. A member of the teaching team will facilitate the event. Each candidate will have a picture that can generate discussion on a health related topic. Each candidate will be asked to respond to the picture in several ways. This will include:

2.

Describing their picture to the other candidates and teaching staff

3.

Indicating positive and negative health factors in the picture

4.

Discussing possible nurse/midwife involvement in the health matters arising from the picture or from similar scenarios


There may be an opportunity for wider discussion involving the whole group during the hour. The group interview will be observed by at least two members of staff who will score each candidate’s performance, including the initial ice breaker activity and their engagement during the hour. Demonstrating communication skills, verbal and non-verbal, is vital. Insights relating to health and the role and activity of the nurse/midwife have to be included. In addition views, attitudes and values expressed by the candidate will be noted. Candidates are advised of the importance of being engaged in the exercise throughout the hour.

1.


There will be opportunity to explore the practice placement booklet student nurses/midwives use throughout their placements (50% of the course).

2.


A range of other activities to provide information about the course and studying at Edinburgh Napier.'
