But you can now submit questions :) Just to let you all know we use a moderation filter so that when you hit submit, they wont automatically appear, you don't need to send them more than once, our team will get to you as soon as they can
Webchats count towards your attendance on RfE - information about how to log your attendance will follow at regular intervals throughout the 60 minutes we are LIVE!
Joining you all today we have Haaroon, Meghan & James!

i found your talk very informative and cant wait to be a fresher next week - do we get a badge?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:05
great! I'm glad you found the session useful :) yes you will get a badge next week, but it will be a generic one this time round with just the team mobile number on if you need us for anything whilst on the events. Hopefully you managed to keep your souvenir from induction day!

Hi Hasti. How can I help you today?

In RFE will we partake in anything that will count as work experience for dentistry?
AvatarHaaroon
4:05
Attending events will definitely help you get experience of what it is like to study at university and specifically study Dentistry. We offer events that give you tips on how to get work placements

what happens if you can’t attend a event due to holidays etc?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:08
Hi, we don't expect you to be able to attend every single event we put on offer. We just ask that you attend a minimum of 5 events across the next 2 years to fully engage with the programme and get the most out of it as stated in your learner agreement :)

Will we have practice interviews for dentistry?
AvatarHaaroon
4:12
Yes we will be offering help with interviews on our dentistry events

Will we have MMI mock interviews for medicine ?
Hello, I just wanted to ask about accessing the alternative offer when applying to Leeds university. Do you need to make Leeds your firm or can you have it as your insurance to access the alternative access offer?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:12
Hi Yusra, yes we do offer MMI mock interviews for medicine! And in answer to your second question, you would need to make Leeds your firm choice on UCAS to receive the lower Access to Leeds offer
Mariah

i cant wait for next week now
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:13
we are looking forward to the events too!
Hasti

Also at the induction Josh the first year medicine student told me that we don't need to apply for Access to Leeds because we will automatically be enrolled to it since we are in RFR, is that true or do I still need to apply for that separately?
AvatarHaaroon
4:15
That's correct, you don't need to apply to Access to Leeds. You just need to complete a separate form. You will be informed of the details and the process closer to the time

Thank you for the reply Meghan, what other medicine related events do you host?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:18
Hi Yusra, we continually update our programme throughout the year to cater for our student's interests, we release programmes for each event block typically about 3-4 weeks before :) we have confirmed a discover medicine series of academic workshops however, the first taking place next week. Two more taking place in Easter and the fourth and final session taking place in the summer school. We would encourage you to sign up early for these events though as they are very popular!
Mariah
4:16
are you going to be signing?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:17
Meghan will be performing live at this years summer school if you all ask her nicely and remind her throughout the year!
Hasti

Thank you for the information
Yusra Nawaz
4:19
Also, are we able to suggest potential sessions we would like to see? And will events also be held during year 13?
AvatarHaaroon
4:21
Yes, we welcome all suggestions and feedback so if you have an idea for an event than you can let us know. Yes, there will be events in Year 13.
