      Medical Receptionist Interview

      Apr 24, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Nuneaton, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Nuneaton, England) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      Saw and advertisement in a pharmacy window and applied with my cv via e-mail to the practice manager. Within 2 weeks I received a phone call inviting me for an interview.(I applied on the last day of the closing date listed) Interview process was very simple and friendly. I was interviewed with very standard personality and competency based questions. There was also a filing test and a telephone test thrown in too. Two weeks later I received an email inviting me for a 2nd interview, this time with one of the partner doctors at the surgery. This second interview was very relaxed and pretty much just a meet and greet with the doctor. Offered job that same afternoon.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If there was a long queue at the desk, phone ringing, and a doctor wanting to speak to you, which order would you prioritise them?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at NHS

      Interview

      Process was not comfortable as there were many people coming in and out of the interview room. The questions were relevant to the role but also vague, the role was given fairly quickly which warranted questioning on why that was the case
