I'm a first year and my baby is due in July, I'm planning on a full year, the course have just told me to let them know how much I want and they'll do me an individualised plan based on what I say. I think for me the timing has worked out well though as I will finish the first year's teaching before...

Hi all, Question about the WMS III assessment- I`m reassessing someone tomorrow- the first one was done 3 years ago, I have a copy of the report but it's very brief and doesn't state whether the optional sub tests were completed or not. The general gist was that there weren't any clinical problems a...

Hi all, I`m a current first year and some recent issues with our trust have made me feel I probably should join a union, just in case....! I`m a bit confused as to the differences between Unite and Unison? Which one are most people part of? Also the monthly fees do seem quite high to me, do people f...

I had two spelling mistakes and a typo in mine...and now I'm on training. Don't stress too much

Hello again :) Looking forward to meeting you all properly in a few weeks :) Summer so far has been good, I had a week away with my family in June and got engaged which has been very exciting! I also had an email - my first placement is going to be in adult mental health. My background is all LD and...

Hi all, Just to say I did end up sending in the documents, though when I went into my bank for a statement the assistant was very understanding and helpful in printing me a statement that had the bare minimum of information i.e. just a single deposit transaction which made me feel slightly more in c...

Hi Guys, Following the email we had from the course admin asking for our birth certificates and bank statements I've started the following thread... http://www.clinpsy.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=18743 Just wondered if anyone else starting at Birmingham this year has an opinion one way or ...

Thank you eponymous85, I do feel in a bit of a disempowered posistion at this stage and feel like I'm going against my principles a bit but at the same time very reluctant to be a difficult customer! If I handed over a client's information without any justification for why it was needed or what it w...

Hi all, Thank you for your replies, glad it's not just me who thinks it's a little strange. DBS forms have already gone off for processing so its not for that. I did write another very polite email to the HR person asking if they could tell me why it's standard procedure for the trust and why these ...

Congratulations on getting an interview :D I would just be mindful of the possibility that whoever has put the person spec together has used a generic template where "application/test/interview/references" were all listed as options with the intention that the individual would delete as ap...

Hi All, I've got a place on the Birmingham course for September! :D Wondering what people's thoughts are on the following issue; At interview we had to take various documents- degree certs, passport, utility bill for address and driving license. We also filled in a form with bank details for payment...

I don't have an option for community or inpatient, I just log in and have selected the option for 'unqualified clinical staff'. I'm working my way down the list...

I'm up and running with e-learning too! Currently working through a module..... :roll: I took it that the admissions emails were just triggered automatically as someone has electronically enrolled us, I couldn't see that we had to do anything with it. Anyone else dreading them sending out our mug sh...

Hi Amy :-) I still can't log on so will call them tomorrow, it said something about needing to complete it within 3 weeks and I'm going on holiday next week....:-/ Has anyone handed in their notice yet? I'm being pestered for it at my current job so they can advertise my post but I don't really want...

Is anyone else having difficulties accessing the e-learning? I've had to email their support team as it keeps telling me the log in details are incorrect?
