I have one too but you should know what your answer is based of your personal statement. Like if you were inspired or because you have skills. All the questions will have hidden meaning where they want to see you demonstrate skill that is required of a radiographer so don’t stress btw which uni?

uni of salford! i was assuming that with that question you talk about the role of a radiographer like “i like working in a team” or “i love the mix of science and tech”. i thought u had to have another reason other than what’s on the personal statement cause they already know the reason when they read the pa

Make sure you link the 6C NHS and how radiography is getting more advanced and you can move to different specialties and expand your stills .Aslo talk how like you are teally compassionate about your course and empathic .YOU WILL SMASH YOUR INTERVIEW .(I am first year radiography student )

Being an extrovert, and being empathetic are two totally different, and totally unrelated things.

Also, please don't refer to patients as "victims"! 😧

Also extroverted is being out going while empathic is understanding one’s emotions if you didn’t know.
