For medical physics it says the possible interview dates are 30th, 31st and 1st - does this mean that all three are options or it will be one of these? I ask as I am supposed to give a talk at an international conference on the 1st which I can not get out of!

As far as I'm aware you will just be given a date, you won't have a choice. They are very strict on that and won't let you rearrange if it clashes with something so fingers crossed they don't give you the 1st!

Hello, Scotland is very similar to Wales with the application.

Do you have a link to the application for the Scottish STP? Been looking for ages and haven't been able to find it.

I found something from last year's entry saying interviews are all at Birmingham fc, presumably that's the same again this year

Yup! I can confirm they are in Birmingham again this year. :smile:

There will be a list of different interview times for each of the 3 dates, and 8 people per time slot. When you get invited to interview you will be able to book whichever time slot you like on a first come first serve basis. :smile:
Does anyone know if we have to sit the assessments again in person?

As it says not until the end of the month you've more chance of getting arthritis in your fingers from clicking the refresh button sooner than you'll get a reply 😂 fingers crossed it'll be sooner rather than later though.

It says by the end of the month which is worst case, it’s usually a few days to a week! So fingers crossed for tomorrow or Monday

Honestly I'd have thought that this part of the process would have been automated. Doesn't make sense that it takes so long.
