Common Approach to AdmissionsApplications are received via the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) or via the Keele University online direct application form
• First screened for academic specific subjects being taken and grades• Personal statement is then read by an academic staff member for
content pre-interview– If score if above a pre-determined* threshold will be invited for an
interview• Student then interviewed
– Normally in person if in the UK or via Skype for other countries• Interviewed following a MMI methodology
– If score if above a pre-determined* threshold thenstudent made an offer
*score can change for each academic year
Context to the Approach
A review of poorly applied national care quality standards at the Mid-Staffordshire National Health Service Foundation Trust (Francis, 2013) highlighted:
- Higher Education Institutes needed to recruit not only the academically able but also those with clear potential to develop essential health professional qualities
These characteristics are looked for in
applicants
(NHS England, 2016)
It’s the Keele difference.
Personal Statement
Personal StatementThe scoring system used in radiography looks for the personal statement and academic reference to include the following:
• Reference highlights suitability for profession• Coherent personal statement• Health related work experience• Interests (extra-curricular activities)• Leadership• Teamwork• Understanding of the profession• Evidence of the 6C’s
Work ExperienceNot all students get work experience within the field they
wish to study.
Many hospitals and clinics now have much stricter privacy and confidentiality agreements in place that prevent students observing.
Ideally observing a clinician is the ‘gold’ standard.
Experience should link to the 6C’s so any caring roles or volunteer work with individuals with disabilities
can count.
Examples of Adequate Work Experience
1. Caring for a sibling or family member with a disability
2. Volunteer experience with a charity that works with the vulnerable (adults or children)
3. Employment experience of supporting individuals with specialist needs
NB: All can be supplemented by reading and
knowledge of the course they are applying for
