For the September 2019 and January 2020 intakes a variety of healthcare organisations and universities are participating in a centralised numeracy and literacy assessment process. They will make this clear in their advertising material

 NB Applicants can only attend the assessment ONCE each academic year. If you fail the test and attend for another assessment the new assessment data will not be recorded on the database only the first failed attempt will be recorded. You will be able to undertake the assessment the following year. If you passed the assessment last year you do not need to re-take the tests. You will require confirmation of this so contact the organisers if you no longer have the original confirmation.

 Information for candidates:

 What to bring:

1. You need to bring photo identification (passport or driving licence) to the session. If you do not bring photo ID you will not be able to take the assessment and will have to attend a different event. If you require extra time due to a learning difficulty such as dyslexia you will require evidence to support this.
2. Calculators are NOT permitted for use during the assessment.

 After the assessment:

1. Following the assessment you will be sent confirmation of your result using the email address you entered on Eventbrite.
2. Sponsoring trusts will seek confirmation of the result of the assessment from the assessment organisers for candidates they are considering shortlisting. Trusts will contact shortlisted candidates directly the universities will not hold this information.

We look forward to seeing you at one of the assessment sessions. If you have any questions about recruitment to the SCPHN programme you should contact the university you are interested in attending. If you do not have this information already search for the programme on the university’s website and you should be given a contact.
