I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NHS (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2013
Interview
The application process was via the official NHS channels, and invitation to interview was through the same channel. This was followed by a skills test (comparable to work within the role) and a one-to-one interview with potential line manager and his line manager. Questions were relevant to working with IT and data, securing data, and generic working within the NHS requirements such as an understanding of confidentiality.
