Had to complete two data entry practicals and then a 30-45 minute ish interview with 3 panel members. One data entry practical was a speed typing test (online) and the other required me to enter patient information from a document into word - i had to complete as many as i could in 15 minutes..i had to enter things like the patients name, the reason for their visit etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked me what i would do in a hypothetical situation where someone i worked with and i did not get along.
First is an assessment day where there is a presentation outlining the job you have applied for. Then there are icebreaker questions and an icebreaker game (usually pictionary). Then there is an assessment where you look at blood tubes and fill out the details onto the computer and write down any mistakes you see. Lastly there is a laboratory tour.
If you pass the assessment you are invited for an interview where there a a panel of interviewers.
I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (Bolton, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Went smooth but was unprepared. It was with 5 people, after interview went to different place to do a physical test. I'd say it went smoothly but then it relied on having experience (even tho it wasnt necessary).
