I applied through university. I interviewed at NHS (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Feb 2015
Interview
A full tour of the lab and facilities with some small hands on work to test practical skills, followed by a 15 minute interview. The usual set of questions were asked, why do you want this?, why do you think you should get the position?, and what would be your plan after the placement? In total this took about an hour.
