Applying for the NHS Scientist Training Programme in 2019 University of Manchester Careers Blog

Applying for the NHS Scientist Training Programme in 2019 STP 2019 now open for applications from Wednesday 9th January at 1pm Friday 8th February at 5pm. The NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP) is open for applications for September 2019.   Thousands of scientists and engineers of all disciplines work for the NHS, and the STP is how they recruit most of their Clinical Science trainees each year. Many Manchester students and postgrads apply to the STP, so we update this blog post each year to help you navigate the process (well also update it when there is new information to share with you). N.B. Some of the resources mentioned in this post may only be accessible by University of Manchester students. If you are not a Manchester student, have a chat with your own Careers Service about the support available to you. Tips for applying   You have until 5pm on Friday 8th February at the latest to submit your online application and (for anyone who isn’t an in-service applicant) until 5pm on Monday 11th February to complete the online tests.   Submit your application well in advance of the deadline: if you experience any last minute hiccups with your application or the tests, they cannot guarantee to deal with queries in the final 48 hours before each deadline. The National School of Healthcare Science website has so much information for applicants it can be overwhelming â€" however, if you want the best chance of getting into these super-competitive posts, you’ll hoover it all up and use the advice in your application. A good place to start is by reading the STP Frequently Asked Questions for Applicants 2019.   Read the job description and person spec to get an overview of the role, then thoroughly research the specialism you plan to apply for e.g. check out the relevant professional body for each specialism. The list of STP specialisms by location will be updated throughout the application window, and for 2019 includes 31 specialisms (new ones for 2019 in bold below, northwest includes Liverpool and Lancashire by the way). Each specialism has a different number of vacancies and the list is usually updated several times during the application window (theyre already on version 6.0).   You’ll have to inspect each specialism individually, but as you are encouraged to focus your application on your chosen specialism and not the region, it does make sense: they want to see some focus! Manchester Academy for Healthcare Science Education (or MAHSE) held an STP open day on the 8th January: if you missed it, the main talks were podcast and included some really useful tips! (Well add in the link here when they go online) NB. Scotland recruit their STP trainees separately and take on about 20 annually.   These will be advertised later this year. Keep an eye on their website for details.   Also, last time NHS Wales advertised STP vacancies in March 2018 on the NHS jobs website.   Thats not to say theyll do the same this year, though We have been told previously that only 3 candidates are interviewed per post, so the competition is red hot.   You’ll therefore need some great answers to the essay questions:     set aside some time to do your research, reflect on your experience and craft your answers â€" do yourself justice here. Online application form The online application form is near on identical to last year, so if you applied last year, you know what to expect. Frustratingly, there is still no easy way to preview all the questions before you start to fill it out so weve had a sneaky peek for you. As you go through the online form for the first time, you can’t advance on to the next page without completing the mandatory sections. However, you can review and change most of the answers once you get to the end â€" just don’t press “Submit” until AFTER you have filled it all in and checked it thoroughly! There are lots of mandatory sections, and once you fill in some answers, other mandatory questions may appear.   Be prepared to answer A LOT of questions about eligibility, fitness to practise etc before you even get to the bit where you fill in your education.   You also need to supply the details of three referees, one of whom must be your most recent education supervisor (or line manager, if you have graduated and are in work). When your application form is read by the people who will shortlist candidates for interview, they wont be able to see the choices that candidates have made. Hence, if you choose two different specialisms your application will go to both short listing panels, who will not know if you have ranked that specialism as first or second choice. They also will not see any candidate names â€" it is done completely blind. Essay questions The form asks the same four questions as last year and, again, you are allowed a maximum of 250 words per answer. An implicit test here is whether you can write accurately AND concisely. YOUR KNOWLEDGE, MOTIVATION AND COMMITMENT TO THE TRAINING PROGRAMME In less than 250 words, please state why you have applied for the Healthcare Scientist Training Programme. Give details of your motivation, suitability and future career development or aspirations. Describe what actions you have undertaken to increase your knowledge, experience and understanding of healthcare science and the training programme for your chosen specialism(s). YOUR COMMITMENT TO HEALTHCARE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY In less than 250 words, please describe your commitment, interest and enjoyment of scientific practice and technology. Please provide examples of how you seek to develop, improve and adopt innovative processes in your work or studies. VALUES AND BEHAVIOURS The NHS Constitution* values and behaviours are paramount to the delivery of healthcare services.   In less than 250 words please describe how within your own experience you would display these qualities. (*Have you read it yet? You really need to! You can find it here.   We also suggest you check out the NHS Long Term Plan too as this may help inform your other answers) TEAM WORKING AND LEADERSHIP In less than 250 words describe occasions where you have worked as part of a team and outline the skills you used to benefit the outputs of that team. Also, please describe a situation or situations when you have taken the opportunity to lead others and identify how you managed any challenges that arose.   (Important: they are looking for scientific leaders, not practioners). There’s help on completing application forms on our website, including a useful hand-out. We definitely recommend taking the Context-Action-Result approach to structure your answers, to help keep them concise. Always take time to proof read your answers before you submit them (a good tip is to read through them backwards to spot typos). University of Manchester students and recent graduates can get assistance from the Applications Advice service in the Atrium in University Place and also look out for Appointments in your School. Online tests After you submit your online application, you have two tests to complete before the deadline, and you have to get through each of these for your application to be considered. The tests are numerical reasoning and logical reasoning, and you can practise here. We guess they’re using logical reasoning tests to find people who are good at spotting patterns and trends (useful for diagnostics) as well as deductive logic. These tests can be very challenging if youre not familiar with them, so do take time to practice, especially as only one attempt is permitted per email address!  Previous applicants tell us that with practice you can learn how to answer the logical reasoning questions accurately, so it is worth working your way through example tests.   Although they are multiple choice, in some cases you have to choose from a LONG list of possible answers guessing will NOT be a sensible strategy!! You might also want to check out the psychometric test info on our website, including practice test materials. In particular, try Graduates First which provides worked solutions for the answers you get wrong in its tests. We’d definitely suggest using a proper calculator when completing the numerical reasoning test and not the one on your   phone. You’ll be able to do the STP tests at any time until the closing date but don’t leave it until the last minute: what if your Wifi fails or the site crashes with the traffic of all the last minute tests being taken? If you have a disability or a condition like dyslexia, you can request extra time to complete these tests. Youll need to send evidence to support your request   at least 3 working days before the aptitude tests deadline date i.e. before Wednesday 6th February!   If you fail to notify the team before the deadline date, you may not be granted the extra time you need. See Step 5 on the NSHCS Applying to the progamme page FAQs about psychometric tests on the Careers Service website Being optimistic If youre one of the lucky ones who gets invited to interview, you might want to check out the interview dates for your specialism and keep the date free looks like theres no flexibility, so move heaven and earth to get there if you are invited. Interview support for Manchester students and recent graduates Being pragmatic Manchester students and graduates have been successful in the past but the number of applicants far outstrips the places available.   Every year, highly qualified and experienced candidates dont get through, so dont beat yourself up if your application is rejected.   Ensure you have a fall-back option in place.   Make an appointment with a careers consultant if you are not sure where to start. STP Interviews The STP uses the Multiple Mini Interview format and has done for some time. There are 4 stations; with c4 questions at each station; 10 minutes per station and 2-minute rest in between each station.   However, this year there are some changes to the station themes. (We will share any updates with you as they come to light, so this still could change and is for guidance only). 1: General Science station Tip: read up on recent scientific news articles; subscribe to journals or scientific blogs; listen to podcasts and revise research methods. 2 and 3: Specialism Specific stations NEW   there will be TWO specialist stations this time!   You need to understand the role you would be going into; to look at the curricula for your specialism on the NSHCS website and demonstrate motivation and passion for the specialism you have chosen. Having awareness of the following may be helpful: Scientific basis of techniques/procedures Diseases and health conditions What are the current developments, topical issues? 4: Values and Behaviour and Leadership and Management station NEW we understand that the 4th station will  cover all these areas. You MUST read the NHS constitution and have examples to demonstrate each value from your experience (improving lives; compassion; everyone counts; respect and dignity; commitment to quality of care; and working together for patients). Note: These examples do not have to be patient focused! You can use examples from University projects or work experience.   The following examples may help you to understand the context and think about how to demonstrate the NHS values: How would you explain the scientific aspects of your work- for example interpret test results- to an anxious patient, who has no background in science, on a busy ward? Improving Lives is a NHS value that emphasises a core function of the NHS and innovation is central to improvement. The role of clinical science is to improve patient outcomes by developing new and existing tests. How would you answer Tell me about a time when you have found a new way to approach a task or made a suggestion that improved practice? What are your expectations from the STP? You need to prepare examples to fit with the characteristics of leadership and management (empathy; consistency; communication; flexibility; direction; honesty and conviction): http://www.leadership-toolbox.com/characteristic-of-leadership.html.  For most specialisms, teamwork is very important, and as such, preparing examples of how to work well within a multidisciplinary healthcare team would be very helpful. Good luck we are rooting for you! All Applications and interviews Undergraduate-highlighted applications Applications and interviews careers Life sciences NHS scientific work

All in all, we found that more youthful respondents were substan tially more tolerating of the lady with noticeable tattoos than their more established friends. This is, obviously, incredible news for proficient ladies who dont have a fundamentally cutout look, and focuses to the expectation that old inclinations might be getting less important as twenty to thirty year olds and those after them assume control over initiative positions.And it isnt just work environment predispositions against tattoos that, on account of recent college grads, might be lifting.

Employing directors who are more established themselves, however, more than likely dont get tied up with this equivalent inclination toward develop work searchers. Correct? Strangely, our examination found that thi s isnt consistently the case.The study incorporated a picture of a more seasoned lady with silver hair (above).
