Hey everyone, i've jus joined this forum. First of all i'd jus like to say that i envy all u medics out there and those who have got interviews!well done!

I havent got an interview yet, if i do, in preparation for it i woz jus wondering i f someone cud tel me wot the current issues are in the news ie_bird flu which are likely to be asked and wot type of questions the interviewers at manchester wud most likely ask regarding these issues

Oh and another thing...does any1 know wen the interviews are?i know they're between Nov-Mar but does any one hav any specific dates other than the ones in early november...like Mohsin got...lucky sod!well done to him!

Thanx

i think you best bet is to crack open the times or the daily telegraph and have a read through the health sections, there are new issues every day, and you will get much more out of it than if i tell you what i think is a 'hot issue' at the moment!

Hi there
I got a place last year and didn't have my interview 'till March 5th (i think). A lot of my PBL group didn't get their's untill mid-late march either. Hope this puts your mind at rest.
BTW Manchester is a fab med-school, I am really enjoying the course!
Good luck
Lisa :-)
