Paramedical science interviews

1

Hey everyone, anyone else applied for paramedical science and if so have you been offered any interviews or attended any? I've been offered two by Staffordshire and St John moores, staffs is next week and I'm in other words bricking it. I'm not sure if the work experience I've done over the past year will be enough, I'm a lifegaurd and work on a hospice ward, is this enough? Been doing it 6months. Ant tips for the interview would be appreciated I'm rly nervous

Your work experience sounds great :smile:

. Make sure you learn the NHS values and 6 Cs of care (links below), and think about how you can relate your work experience to them. The CCCU Health Rep has given some good advice here:

If you've been invited the interview, that means that whatever qualifications/experience you have they are happy with. They wouldn't invite you to interview just to turn you away because you don't have enough experience! That's not something they need an interview to know, and that would just waste everyone's time!

Make sure you know about the job - have a good understanding around thinks like quality, inclusion and diversity, different areas paramedics can work, attributes that a paramedic would need, etc.
If it's a panel interview, don't forget to have answers to the classic questions! Why do you want to be a paramedic? Why do you think you'll be good at it? Name 3 strengths? Name 3 weaknesses? How might you overcome those weaknesses? Talk about a time you've shown those strengths?

Good luck!
