NHS Clinical Scientist Recruitment

I'm confused about UCL, I emailed them about the course and I got an email back saying they did not have any clinical science places for this year?

Ok now I'm nervous. I didn't apply to Manchester, but if they have sent out invites to interview than other centres may have as well. What other three centres did you apply to Sambo?

I think you are right about the Manchester Uni offers though, they probably offer most people conditional places, as only a small number will get Clinical Scientist positions. Did anybody apply to UCL?

I just wish they would let us know if we have been unsuccessful.

Well they don't have the funding for the second placement year (if you don't get a training post), as Southampton and Manchester do, but they have places for MSc in Audiological Sciences. I had an interview last week and they were asking me if I have applied to the Clinical Scientist Scheme, and explained if I don't get it then I can still do the MSc (obviously self funded) and then a training year after that but that's self funded too, and then qualify as an audiologist.

I visited one of the clinics and the clinical scientist showing me around said that UCL isn't as good as the others though, so a bit confused about it.

fishdrivingcars (intresting name btw)....

...They are only a hand full of people applying for audiology this year so (I hope not) all on here might not be invited to anything! nightmare...

...I dont want to be a position where im just waiting to see if I get onto the SHA funded place!
as I understand it UCL are not accredited yet plus I have wife and child so self funding is no way an option for me! booo

I have applied to Manchester, Sheffield, Cambridge and Reading. Looks like most people have as I spoke to a guy at the uni interview and he has applied to the same posts so has fishdrivingcars (intresting name btw). I had the north wales one on my short list till the last min and changed my mind.

Where did you apply?

I bet a big factor as to why everyone applies to Reading is the number of places haha

Did they set you a topic for the presentation?

Good luck to the people who have interviews so far

Did anyone apply for any of the Embryologist posts? I've been following this thread for a long time now and have never read of anyone who has applied or even thinking of applying!

Did they set you a topic for the presentation?

So I have read a few messages about invitations for interviews for MedPhys and now I am super nervous; the burning question is how did they sent the invitations? By email or by post? If by post, then I fear that I may not receive the letters because of the dismally, poor postal system! Please let me know and put me out of my misery!

Hey I got the Stoke (well, actually it is Newcastle) interview for Med Phys next Friday too! I got a late morning interview. I think I should re-read the letter, as I didn't realise the presentation had to be in powerpoint, although that would have been my choice!

Interview invite letter from Manchester H+I was waiting when I got home Soooooooooooooo pleased to have at least one interview - fingers crossed more will come but one is better than none

Hey - have you applied to birmingham? I called and they said after easter they should be letting everyone know about interviews.
