Hi Kimberley... sorry I didn't answer last night - we had a leak thru the kitchen ceiling that needed sorting!

I didn't have much before applying to be honest so am really shocked that I got in first time round! I have 10 years of experience working in call centres (nothing care related - banking!) and I got in touch with my local hospital to arrange some work experience - I did 1 week in Feb on antenatal ward and I have 1 week with the community midwives coming up... other than this I have my access course which i am due to finish at the end of June. I made a big deal about the transferrable communication skills from working in call centres on my personal statement and also about the big obsession i have with biology!

I think you will be fine with what you have and I hope to see you at Bradford next year - I could be your mentor!
