Hello, thanks for doing these videos! Just a Quick Q about the application process ... does each answer get marked by a different person or does the same person mark all your answers?

[@stpteabreakchats8932]

Hi Nicola, I’m pretty sure they are just marked by one person - when I applied I was told not to repeat things in the different sections when I applied because they’d have the other questions to mark ☺️ hope that helps

[@jeannieleung9038]

Thank you so much for these videos! Could you make a video on the application process? With how to make a good application and anything that we should put focus on?

[@jeannieleung9038]

Oh and what the interviews were like too!

[@stpteabreakchats8932]

Hi Jeannie, I'm planning on doing one as soon as I can, but want to get someone from each specialism up first so it's fair for everyone :) But in each video we discuss the application so there are some good tips scattered throughout!

Are there Immunology STPs? Can you invite them on the tea break chat one of these days? Thank you.

Hi, thank you for making these videos! I was wondering if you have had the chance to talk with a Genomic Counselling STP yet? I'm applying this year and I'm so nervous!

[@stpteabreakchats8932]

Hi Hannah, thank you I'm speaking with a Genomic Counselling trainee on Friday so it will be up soon hopefully! Good luck with your application

@@stpteabreakchats8932 that's great! Can't wait to watch it :) Thank you for doing these, there is such limited video content especially about the STP!

@@hannahevans4635 I’m glad you’re finding them useful! Each applicants tips are pretty useful across the board so hopefully they can help for now 🌟

Hi, can you please do sth about STP infection sciences ? I think it is something new in this year

[@stpteabreakchats8932]

Hi Kaska, I will try to find someone/get some more information on this ASAP 🌟 it’s always worth emailing the school, they were really helpful with any queries I had when applying

[@marwatawfik3956]

Some of the questions that are potentially of interest, HSST vs STP. Why not apply directly to HSST? anyone could possibly share their experience going directly to HSST? How is the relationship in the workplace between both STPs and HSSTs? Why those who have already PhDs didn't apply to HSST rather than STP?

[@stpteabreakchats8932]

So to apply to the HSST you have to be a registered Clinical Scientist with the HCPC so you can't go straight onto that programme. That programme trains CS' to the level of a consultant!

Can you please do one with someone from stp biochemistry as I can't find many doing clinical biochem.. and a big thanks for doing these...

[@stpteabreakchats8932]

Hi Sara, yes of course - I’m aiming to do one for every specialism 😊 I have been in touch with a clinical biochem STP and will be recording that one next week! Thank you for getting in touch
