If you meet the entry requirements, then you have as good a chance as anyone else. Just make sure you get a day of shadowing experience in an imaging department and have some public-facing work/volunteering experience (in retail, cafe, charity shop, care home, etc.) under your belt (and reflect on this in your personal statement). Learn the NHS values and prepare well for your interview.

Don't ask for work experience. Ask for a day of shadowing experience - hospitals are much more open to this than longer periods of work experience. Keep trying over summer and contact all the hospitals you can get to in your area.

yeah, I asked to shadow a radiographer. I haven't gotten a response from my local nhs trust, and I've tried with other hospitals that aren't in my area, but they rejected me because of where I live.

Keep trying because that us actually a special requirement to get in it says on the entry requirements for a clincal visit
