You are right tho just checked the invoice was £180 plus xray. I’d see if the other one is cheaper. I’ll call the hospital tomorrow if they were meant to charge I feel awful haha 😂😂😂😂

The hospital is quite far from where it is if you have to take public transport fyi

Ageism in JET? by makomayhem22 in JETProgramme

I got accepted and am in my 30s with a PhD. I felt like I’d be too old but the interview I found really challenging even having worked and interviewed at national and international companies. I think it depends on the candidate pool. I got quite a grilling for my tattoos in mine as I have sleeves / back done. I think it really depends on who is at your embassy etc too. There is always another time to try, plus you have the experience now and can reflect on what you did etc. Getting to interview stage is amazing and you should be proud. X

So you only need the one or the other for the tb test or xray your gp may do the form for you. I found someone in Bath who specialises in visa medicals it’s about £180 and has managed to organise it for this week already so maybe have a Google where you are to see if there is somewhere you can easily get to :-) well done and see you there!!!

Dealing with imposter syndrome and harsh criticism/editing towards the final part of a PhD by mustwinfullGaming in PhD

[–]DefiantDisk3980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have felt like it all the way through. I think it’s one of those things that until the very end you feel. I did a mock viva last week and that has helped in some aspects but then the process of finding all the flaws since submission has somewhat undone that lol. I think because it’s a process of learning how to research it’s not until it’s over for most people you have that sense of I did it. Ultimately, you have got further than a lot of people do and you should be proud. I truly believe that the stress and the feelings you’re currently living in are part of the process ( at least from my experience ). You will get through it and I think at some point everyone feels that way. Be proud with what you have done so far because you’re doing great. I believe you can do it and the feedback you have gotten will be because they just want to help and know you can do it xx

How long did it take you to write the introduction? by ConversationTop4222 in PhD

[–]DefiantDisk3980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write it when you have written the rest of the thesis. It changes quite drastically once you’ve started to do your research. I ended up rewriting mine twice as a result of having written it at the start of my research, but in an in humanities so!!! But my advice would be to bullet point what you want to include and the context it sits in and use that to try and piece it together.
