Interview Help Therapeutic Radiography
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had an interview for therapeutic radiography course and could assist?
I have done research on the role and know why I would like to become a therapeutic Radiographer.
I've listed the NHS values with work and university examples. E.g. 'working together for patients' using a teamwork example.
If there's any other areas I could go further with I would appreciate the help!

I'm from another healthcare discipline, and I think it would be a good idea to look at medical school interview resources, because there are just so many of them, the core values you want to focus on are the same. Practice some of those 'what would you do in this scenario' questions maybe? And practice other classic interview questions such as 'what are your weaknesses'...Shadow a clinician maybe? Even just have a phone chat with them to learn more about the role, given the covid situation. These are just some ideas at the top of my head, don't really know much about your subject area.
Ultimately you want to show that you are capable of finishing the degree, and you are the one who would fit in that therapeutic radiography department.

1st year RONC student here. Yep, NHS values & the 6 C's are always good to know and if you can link it to the Francis Report even better.
Why do you want to be a Therapeutic Radiographer?
What does the role of a TR involve? If you have been able to do some work experience in an RT department then you should have some idea
What is Radiotherapy? Being able to show a basic understanding of the principles of how it works.
Be aware of current issues around the NHS, RT and cancer treatment. Obviously COVID is the biggie right now and having a horrific impact on cancer treatment.
"Tell us about yourself." What are your strengths and weaknesses? What do you like to do in your spare time?
Anything that you put in your personal statement be prepared to answer questions on.
"Any questions?" Be prepared with a couple, if they've already answered them, tell them so.

Thank you 🙂 I have conditional offers at Sheffield Hallam and Hertfordshire since the original post 🎉 and have an upcoming interview with Liverpool. I am waiting on St George's and AECC to get back to me.
I am overall feeling very positive and can't wait to start the course in September 🙂

Hi! Would you mind sharing what your interview at liverpool was like? What exactly did they ask you? I have an interview for Therapeutic Radiography & Oncology at Liverpool and don't really know what to expect. I would really appreciate any help!

It is against TSR rules to share details of interview questions as it give an unfair advantage to those who follow. Look at the advice given in post #3 and read the following thread:

Be prepared to expand on any situations you encountered in your public-facing work/volunteering experience that can be related to the NHS values and six Cs.
