Don’t worry if you’ve missed some workshops or can’t make it, we have an active group of participants on a WhatsApp group who join up and practice.
These sessions usually last around 90 minutes, we send around some videos beforehand to help candidates who have had less experience with acting, doing mocks, etc. These tend to take place on a Saturday or Sunday morning, and we make sure a current OST is present to field questions.
Although the didactic sessions will be recorded (Portfolio, Clinical Knowlegde crash course), the workshops are practice sessions for you, and thus won’t be recorded – even if you don’t attend, your question bank will have the new stations released on the workshop dates so you can practice with a friend in your own time. We will record the feedback sessions from the workshops.
Yes! We know about the changes to the interview format and are in the process of writing new material as well as updating our existing stations. The stations are now classed as either (clinical) or (comms and ethics). We are keeping a close eye on the Severn Deanery website and will continue to update and refine our stations as new information is released.
As of 2024, ‘station 1’ is still a patient consultation but is designed to test your clinical knowledge. We’ll help you prepare how best to showcase your clinical knowledge even though it’s a patient-facing scenario.
