when did you send in your application.

I sent my application around the start of April so I'm probably in the next batch.

I've no care experience or hospital experience which may be an issue. My only experiences come from paramedic type experience through dealing with injured crew members at sea being the highest trained first-aider aboard. But as I was the boss I can't use myself as a reference. I do talk to doctors on a weekly basis for my current job and have a lot of insight to their work and often discuss their careers and medicine. Not sure it's enough though. Just hoping my volunteer work at the hospital starts soon, so I can use that.

I got a letter today asking me for a suitable reference detailing practical or voluntary experience by May 16th. I have 2 years of volunteering in a care for the elderly ward. The only problem will be getting a hold of either of the heads of volunteering to do a reference for me.

Hi everyone
I'm the 15th at 1pm too... Already nervous! Has anyone here been accepted yet, or do you have to wait a while to find out post interview?

I don't think they accept anyone without interviewing them first and it looks as though the 15th is the first round of interviews.

I also received an interview date for the 15th at 1pm!

Look forward to meeting you, I'll be the large (OK, fat..lol) female in the black trousers and white blouse with red hair who answers to the name of Nicola, funnily enough...
