Hey, I had an interview here last year and the 2 people that interviewed me were lovely, I would advise you revise the GDC 9 principles, the 6 NHS core values, have a clear explanation as to why you want to be a DH/DHT, why you want to go to LSBU specifically and should you be unsure on a answer to any of their questions just calmly say that you cannot answer it. Im not sure if the interviews are the same as last year but I had to read an article and the interview was split into 2, 1st part general questions and the other half on the article. I got an offer still but just decided Newcastle instead! Best of luck with your interview and remember to take your time and not rush! x

No problem! 🙂 Aww thank you!!! I just tried to make sure I was really calm because I found my body language and talking would then follow this, It was my first interview out of 4 and it was the only one where I got such dry mouth from being SO nervous lol, so make sure you have water on the desk. It's good to remember that they are only trying to get to know you, not to catch you out in a mean way! I forgot to mention it's really good to tell them how you're going to manage the workload etc, we all know these courses are intense and its no joke when people tell you that so its good to have adopted some study skills/organisation skills to allow for it to not be a really stressful few years studying! xxx
