I thought it had been confirmed for a few years but I can’t find anything beyond people saying 2019s funding was secured so I am not sure of the latest.

Hello

I receive DSA whilst on the doctorate so you can get it.

When I interviewed I needed to show my driving license and that was enough.

I didn’t have anywhere near the experience you did when I graduated from undergrad and am now a trainee. I know on the very odd occasion people have got on straight from undergrad but I would say the time before the doctorate when you are gaining experience is invaluable and I would in many ways lov...

Salomons, uel, Herts and Lancaster seem to be at one end of the spectrum. Then courses like Liverpool, Bangor, Leeds, Plymouth, Leicester probably fit in next Then lots of courses I don’t have a clue about Then you go to the more researchy ones like iop, Royal Holloway, Manchester etc. All courses h...

Congratulations!!

Yes it was very frustrating!

A brief update for fellow reserves at Leeds - there's been some movement at the bottom of the reserve list and 10 out of the 16 have accepted. I'm first reserve so can post again if/when I hear anything :salut: Does anyone know if Leeds tends to use its reserve list? I know it's one of the later co...

It’s interesting as a trainee that I feel this is changing a bit as I know several assistants, trainees and newly qualified who are open about having lived experience of some form or other. I’ve been open and have never felt much stigma around within the profession itself and if it has been there I ...

I would say where are the placements located?

You may find that placement wise you have a much shorter commute and you just to have t...

Two things as a current trainee we were having a meeting the other day at uni and talking about things. One of the tutors says she used to recommend students got experience whilst an undergrad now she recommends they focus on getting the best degree possible (experience is a bonus but won’t make up ...

If I knew I meet the criteria to be invited for a selection test then I started revising prior to the invites I think. I should say that I was starting from scratch in terms of revision hence starting before the invite!

Newcastle, UCL, bath, Cardiff, Lancaster, Leeds, Leicester, Oxford, Liverpool and Sussex (is there a Dclin there?) offer the same arrangement for a fast track course with bristol neuropsych

I think Herts are strongly systemic?

Liverpool do it one if there plus one options and so do a number of other unis I believe

I bought my flat when I got onto training and I think I pay £500 in total. I do save more and have bills on top. The salary is going up next month for trainees so I would say you could definitely afford it but think about things like will you be travelling home a lot, if you have a car how much does...

Re Liverpool last year the reserve list moved into the twenties. The person got a call the day before and I know this because they are now a trainee!
