NHS Change Day will take place on 13.03.13. It will be one day during which the collective energy, creativity and ideas of thousands of NHS staff, and those who support the NHS, in all areas of work and right across the country, will demonstrate how one simple action or new idea can make a difference and improve care for patients, their families and their carers. The team behind NHS Change Day are asking people to make pledges of an action or idea. You can see our pledge on the NHS Change Day pledge wall .

Competition for a place at Medical School is fierce. Approximately 2500 applications to the Medical School are received each year, for a total of 322 places. Up to 700 applicants are selected for interview.
The selection procedure
Please download the Selection Procedure Information (pdf), for an explanation of the Medical School's selection procedure.
Interviews are held at UCL
No offers are made without interview. All applicants, including those who live
overseas, must therefore be prepared to attend an interview in London.
If students
are not going to be available at particular times during the interview season, because of examinations
or trips abroad, then this information should be listed in the appropriate box
on the UCAS form or sent to the admissions office by email (instructions on how to submit this information will be sent to applicants in late October).
Timing of interviews
The
interview season begins in December and runs through March. Invitations to
interview
are issued
on a rolling basis throughout the season, with candidates normally being given
two weeks notice.
During January we usually interview graduate applicants, overseas students and those on a gap year. UK school-leavers are normally interviewed in February and March. However it is possible for any applicant to be called to interview at any time during the season, so it is important that all applicants with a pending application ensure that we are aware of their unavailability.
Applicants should check their email regularly and should ensure that emails from medicaladmissions@ucl.ac.uk are not diverted to the junk folder.
Interview outcome
We aim to advise interviewees of the outcome of their
interview within 14 days of their visit. The outcome will be displayed on UCAS Track. Successful applicants will receive an offer pack by post. Candidates who are unsuccessful will normally be advised electronically.
