I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Bristol, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview in total was around 45 minutes to 1 hour. I was asked 6 questions such as what I can bring to the role, scenario based questions and some things on confidentiality. It was a very competitive interview, they interviewed 10 out of 120 applicants. The panel made me feel at ease and comfortable, which was really lovely.
