I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Solihull, Angleterre) in Aug 2018
Interview
Group activity, and then if successful, we were invited to attend a 1:1 interview. Group activity involved us working together on questions (in small groups) whilst the 'observers' took notes on how we communicated and interacted with each other.
Overall a good experience, group activity allowed us all to get to know each other. Friendly interviewers who made the process positive.
