| Does anyone know when the Edinburgh health board ranking forms come out (if you get that far?). Would be good to know when I should start stalking the postman! |

If I remember rightly, mid-Feb, but exact dates vary each year.
Good luck  |

I concur! Friendly word of advice - only rank regions you would accept if you were offered Saves a pickle later  |

| Yes! I agree with helloimnew! Definitely do not rate places you wouldnt accept as you are very likely to get them and it will be a dilemma |

| For the health boards with a speciality, does this mean that your placement and thesis in your final year have to be in this area, whereas if there is no speciality you are free to choose? |

| Yeah, if you get a flexi-child say then your thesis and final year will be in child. If you're not specialist then you choose. |

| Oh no, I don't have a letter. Anyone know if they are sending rejection letters at the same time? |

Hi, I just wondered if there is anybody out there that can offer any advice about where might be better to work if you have a small child? I've been reading the attached information with the ranking sheet, but I think Id be better to avoid ranking places which have more travelling, and without knowing anything much about Scotland  .....
Any advice would be really appreciated,
Thanks, Lilly. |

| Hi Lilly. Hmm...let's see. Well Highland covers quite a vast area so that might be difficult for travelling...Grampian Elgin is also quite remote. Grampian Aberdeen might be good, I'm from Aberdeen and would recommend it, although properties are a bit expensive, travel would probably be okay...Tayside would be fine coz property is a bit cheaper but it is quite a small city, shouldn't be too much travel...Lothian would involve less travel and Edinburgh is great...I'm afraid my knowledge remains in the North so I'm not sure about the central/southern regions. Anyone out there offer some advice for Lilly? |

Aberdeen placements can mean a lot of travelling, people in learning disability placements can be travelling out to inverurie or banff which can take a bit of time
If you want to be close to teaching as well as placement probably fife or lothian are good |
