Colloquio
MLA position in the histopathology department at Wythenshawe hospital. Standard NHS application form; education, employment history, references and then a more detailed supporting information section.
Interview started with a 15 minute practical assessment which involved checking filing systems for errors, checking slide labelling for matching information as well as comparing two sources of patient information and checking for errors or matching.
Interview was extremely scripted. Absolutely no conversation outside of the set questions. Not much opportunity to convey background or personality.

Colloquio
a 20-30 minute interview in front of a panel, followed by a 15-minute practical test. The interview focused on health & safety and confidentiality (GDPR). Make sure you research GDPR and the various risks associated with the lab (Biological, chemical, and physical). So make sure you become familiar with how to prevent breaches of data and risks (SOPs, COSHH, PPE). Do some research on how the lab operates and your duties, as they may ask you about this. They also ask you how to ensure a team works well together. The practical test included arranging blocks in numerical order, accounting for alphabetical suffixes (e.g., if numbers are identical, A group precedes B, and B group precedes C). If you prepare well and do some research beforehand, it should go smoothly.

It was a good interview I had to prepare for, wasn’t the easiest one I had. But I worked hard for it and did well. Questions are unexpected ones and not easy
