Really useful info ! Good job Ollie… What if you submit your leave application 6 weeks prior but not been sent the rota? & then it clashes with on-call days?

Hi dr. Ollie
Hope you’re well. Thanks for making these videos, I find them very useful and informative. Please can you tell me, as far as you know, does Warwick accept 2:2 degree in pharmacy for grad entry please?

I don't think Warwick accepts 2.2 degrees for GEM unless a masters is also offered unfortunately. Can always check with the admissions team or look on the website though.

Hi Ollie, thanks for the video. If I wanted to take a week off, but was only rota'd to work 3 of the 5 days in the week, do I need to take all 5 off or can I just request leave on the 3 days I'm supposed to be in? Thanks!

[@OllieBurtonMed]

Hi Richard, yes exactly - if you needed Monday-Friday off, say for a holiday or something, and you happened to have a zero day on Thursday (and so wouldn't be expected to come to work), in that case you would only need to request 4 days of AL.
