Yeah, I got my link back the 7th November, I submitted it and the received a email on Tuesday there to say it had been completed and submitted to the HSE

Weird. Still haven't heard a thing back after they acknowledge receipt of my documents.

I had my medical in Galway today. There's a detailed questionnaire to fill in. Urine sample. Height, weight, chest and waist measurement, BP, blood test, if your BMI is over 30 there is a brief step test. The doctor told me you would need to have severe cardiovascular disease to fail it.
The eye test, tests your peripheral, long and near vision through a visor type device, colour blindness test too, close your bad eye if its too blurred. Finished off with a hearing test, tip is look at the floor in the booth.

Best of luck!

Hi, just made it though the interview and have received an EOI for Tallaght. I see you had yourm medical and it was detailed enough. What’s the blood test for do you know?

Standard stuff like serology - Hep A,B,C, TB, they asked if I wanted HIV checked. Also drugs such as cocaine, amphet, opiates...etc

I had to look into a binocular thing connected to a light box. I was asked to read letters of certain sizes on certain lines and spot shapes which stood out on pictures. They did ask me to close one eye and repeat a few lines. I also had to do the standard ishihara test for colour blindness.

It's a lot to take in alright. I'm just trying to learn the main headings and not worrying too much about the in-depth pharmacology and information

Description
Presentation
Administration route
Dose
Indication
Contra-indication
Side effects.

Some of the meds though there's a lot to take in, such as chlorphenamine.

For A&P I'm just learning the bones, heart, lungs and a few other things I haven't decided on yet

Yea I’m thinking similar plan myself... it was a case of right aspirin I know this one.... then got to chlorphenamine and was like ah yea I’m lost again ðŸ˜‚ feel at least with some bit of understanding of terminology it will help, where you hoping to start?

Hoping for Tullamore, ballinasloe was first choice but beggars can’t be choosers.... not even sure of will definitely get January course, depends if many are left on previous panels...

You can apply for both. So hopefully you'll get one.
At least Tullamore and Ballinasloe aren't all that far from each other.

Also, I decided to skip the chlorphenamine and come back to it at another date. Cyclizine and clopidogrel are much easier to learn lol

Anyone starting in January have any idea when we get our contracts or further information?

I'd say they'll wait for blood test results to come back. Could be mid/late December.
I wonder if they are going to push the tallaght start date back considering the eoi for the new panel start date is Jan 25th.

I got that as well. I'd say we will get something in the mail in the next week or so. It's all getting very real now, looking forward to January.

Dublin.

I wouldn't worry. It seems that emails don't all get sent at the same time. You could be waiting a few hours or days.

Newgirl89 · 23-11-2020 4:09pm

Just see that Tallaght course is starting the 11th and not 25th

Make sure to check your junk mail as some of my mails were going in there and some were going into my normal in-box.

Which one? It seems the EOI that went out this week was for the 25th.

The EOI from October is the 11th. Unless they've now combined the classes but I doubt they'd have the capacity for that.

TheOriginalJ · 23-11-2020 8:23pm

Many people get their garda vetting link back yet

Email said that it’s 11th and that there are 11 spaces left, it’s the same eoi that was sent out earlier for 25th they corrected the error of date... I am taking a guess that there are 11 spaces left from the last round of eoi, could be wrong, has to replied to for tomorrow anyway so will hopefully find out later this week whether or not the people who were interviewed last week will be starting in January... not sure if there are people from old panel still awaiting to hear about starting

Still nope.
I hear HBS are under wicked pressure at the moment due to mass recruiting across all sectors of NAS and the HSE.
So I'm just giving them time and being patient.

Oh okay. Makes sense. Maybe people didn't have the relevent documents etc or turned down the offer so it free'd up 11 more spaces. Who knows.

Nobody knows.... it could just be sent out to everyone and it could all be offered to people from previous panels... 34 places in tullamore aswell so fingers crossed

Donal_M1 · 23-11-2020 9:23pm

I am on the new panel formed last week. As far as I know there is people from the old panel but I think they may be waiting for Ballinasloe. I'd say we'll know by Thursday but I'll be delighted if I get offered a place this time around.
