      Trainee Clinical Coder Interview

      Aug 22, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NHS

      Interview

      2 stage interview, with a group assessment at the first stage and proper interview for successful candidates. Group assessment consisted of some interview questions to be answered in front of everyone else, some group activities, written assessment as well as a short presentation about the job to ensure we know what we are signing ourselves up to. Most questions throughout the whole process were focussing more on getting to know you as a person and your ways of working rather than your knowledge about the position (as they kind of dished all of that out during the presentation)
