Free workshop led by surgeon Dr Shonnelly Novintan for students preparing for medicine applications, with personal statement advice, interview techniques and mock interviews.
The Abbey School is hosting a medical interview skills workshop on Thursday 19 November, from 6 pm to 9 pm. It's led by surgeon Dr Shonnelly Novinton, and it's aimed at students preparing to apply for medicine. If you're in the middle of that process, it's exactly the kind of thing that's hard to figure out on your own.
The session covers a fair bit of ground. There's a look at medical school personal statements, then it moves on to interview techniques and the softer side of things — communication and empathy, the stuff that's harder to put into a textbook. The practical part comes towards the end: mock interviews with feedback from experienced healthcare professionals, so you get to run through the real thing and hear what actually works before you're sitting in the hot seat for real.

It's open to students only, and spaces are limited, so it's worth getting your name down sooner rather than later. The workshop is free, though donations are welcomed for The Abbey School's Charity of the Year, CLEFT. If you're driving, there's some on-site parking available, or you can find spaces along Kendrick Road. The school is at 17 Kendrick Road, Reading RG1 5DZ, and the whole thing runs for three hours on the evening of Thursday 19 November.
