Hi everyone, here's the new thread!

@SuperSue77thank you for that.

Hope you don't need to use it!

Thanks @SuperSue77, that's helpful. Hope your DD is doing well on her med school application journey! Getting closer now :)

Thanks! Feeling nervous already and not even got to UCAT yet! DD managed to get some volunteering at our local hospital, after our 5 months of being ghosted by the volunteer mgr - but I was hoping they'd get her doing something more hands-on like helping with feeding, but she was told she has to have training to do that (understandable) but no offer to train her!

I'm trying to stay calm and not interfere but it feels like there is a big clock and time is ticking away - obviously can't be as bad as it is for all of you going through exams!

That's great to hear, it will be a good experience! My DD loved her NHS wex placements and her volunteering role; she volunteered for more than one year in our local community hospital. She also had to wait for 4-5 months to start, due to an NHS trust merger and a DBS and occ health processsing backlog. Best of luck @SuperSue77, not an easy journey but you have done your research to support her!
