Each year the University of Bristol run a series of MMIs (Multiple Mini Interviews), interviewing 80 candidates per day - with two sessions of 20 in the morning and two session of 20 in the afternoon. There are two parallel streams being interviewed synchronously, with 10 stations in each stream, at 6 minutes per station (5 minutes for the task/question and 1 minute change over). There is one interviewer at each station asking a question or acting out a scenario and each has a score sheet and guidance on scoring. MMIs are the final stage of the admissions process and offers are made based on candidate's performance at MMIs.
We are looking for colleagues from across the NHS to act as assessors at the MMIs, I am afraid that there is no payment as such for your time, but we, and the GMC, recognise the important role that medical student selection plays in shaping the future health service so, all asessors will receive a certificate of contribution, evidence which may be useful in appraisal, revalidation and job planning.
I am happy to be able to confirm that this cycle's Medical MMIs will again be held in the Anson Room, Richmond Building, Queens Road (Student's Union) on the following dates -
Tues 21st, Weds 22nd, Thurs 23rd November
Tues 5th, Weds 6th, Thurs 7th December
Tues 13th, Weds 14th, Thurs 15th February

There are refreshments and a briefing upon arrival and a lunch voucher is provided for the Balloon Bar on the ground floor.
I am looking for assessors that are available for either a half day (full morning - 09:00-12:20 or full afternoon - 12:20-15:40) or the whole day - 09:00-15:40.
