Have they released the locations of the vacancies yet? I can't seem to find this anywhere on the NSHCS website

The locations are usually published when the application window opens so they should be out on Tuesday

some possibly useful links to prepare. The standards for doctors in terms of professionalism are mostly the same. There will be some subject/ role specific stuff that's different but it's still useful to have a look at:

GMC ethical guidlines for doctors: https://www.gmc-uk.org/ethical-guidance/ethical-guidance-for-doctors/good-medical-practice

more detailed than the stuff i could find specifically about clinical scientists

and some sample SJT questions for doctors: https://www.gmc-uk.org/gmpinaction/

where again the questions to do with professionalism or stuff that doesn't depend specifically on being a doctor are likely to be similar for clinical scientists.

Sure! Drop me a message and we'll organise a time.

Hey, super cheeky, but I'd also be really interested to hear about which alternative route your taking. Also curious did you have an stp place for micro and left or something else and you've changed speciality?

@HealthcareSci I just wanted to let you know I got your DM but my private messages feature hasn't unlocked yet. But, that sounds great. I'll reply to you with a source of contact and I am available at any time during the weekend, so let me know when it is most convenient for you. Thank you.

So to confirm we only have to do 2 reflective statements. 500 words each?

Looks like it! 500 words for scientific skills and 500 words for transferable skills/physical requirements

didn't realize we would need 3 references. I've got two planned but don't know who to ask for the third.

Once we start the application do we have a certain time limit to submit or can you submit anytime before the deadline?

Any time before the deadline, so you can save and come back to it. I can't remember where I read this, but I saw somewhere that most applicants submit their applications later, which could overwhelm the system. So if you're going to submit later, try not to leave it until the last minute!

Thanks, I was just scared once I pressed apply I'd only have like an hour to complete everything and submit so I was hesitant to press apply.

Fair fear to have, I hate those applications! What specialism are you thinking of applying for?
