to show the entire room where you are undertaking the interview to confirm that nobody

Please ensure that you have been to the bathroom before logging onto the online interview.
The process will last approximately 35 minutes (5 minutes for ID Check and 30 minutes for
Interview)
You will be assessed on 7 broad areas on topics related to your experience of working as a
junior doctor to date as well as your interest in training in anaesthesia.
The main focus of the interview will be to assess the domains listed in the assessment matrix
through questions related to: your experience of working as a junior doctor, how you reflect
on particular challenges you have faced, and exploring what you have learnt from these
experiences. The interview will not include scenario-based questioning where candidates are
asked how they would deal with a hypothetical clinical scenario. The assessors will allow
approximately 10 minutes for part 1 and 5 minutes for each section in part 2. This is to allow
candidates an opportunity to be scored in all domains.
The total online interview score is out of 100.
You can find the scoring matrix for the online interview on the ANRO website at

install the MS Teams app prior to their interview taking place.

After the interview booking deadline has passed you will receive a separate email with a link
in to access the MS Teams call by the region admin for the interview day you have booked
ontoAs soon as the link to join the interview has been received, applicants should ensure that
they test this from the device they plan to use for their interviews as they may need to source
an alternative device to ensure connectivity. Any applicants unable to connect should contact
the recruitment team at the earliest opportunity. When testing the link, applicants should
reach a screen that states that the host will commence the meeting shortly or similar wording.
If you are unable to connect directly from the link, try pasting the URL link into the browser,
or try using an incognito browser. On the day of the interview, each applicant should click on
the link and join the call 5 to 10 minutes prior to their booked interview slot. Applicants will
be kept in the lobby area until the interview panel are ready for them at which time they will
be admitted into the interview.
Applicants should ensure that their camera and microphone are turned on and working
correctly prior to joining the call. Interviews will be terminated where the panel cannot see
the applicant.
Before the interview commences, applicants will be required to confirm their identity with
the interview administrator. It is therefore important that applicants have suitable
photographic ID available (passport or UK photo driving licence). In addition, applicants will
be required to move their camera to show the entire room where they are undertaking the
interview, to confirm that nobody else is present.
Once identity has been confirmed, the administrator will advise the interview panel that the
interview process can commence.
The interview must not be recorded by yourself and will not be recorded by eit her the
administrator or the panel members.
On completion of the interview, you should terminate their connection to the call and the
interview process is complete.
Technical Difficulties
Where significant technical difficulties are experienced during the interview process, which
make the interview impossible to complete, recruitment teams will aim to rearrange, where
possible, the interview at a later date/time. Where the interview has been partially
completed, only the questions that were disrupted will be rerun; scores from interview
questions completed without disruption will stand.
Please note that neither the panel members nor recruitment administrator can provide
technical assistance to applicants for issues experienced with hardware or as a result of poor
internet connection.
Technical issues that happen outside of the interview itself, need to be reported to the
recruitment team, with details of the issues experienced, with screenshots, where possible,
within one hour of the allocated interview time. Technical issues reported outside of this
timeframe will not be considered.
Following agreement of technical disruption, recruitment teams will provide one alternative
interview date/time. Applicants must ensure, wherever possible, that they are available for
the rearranged time.
Raising Concerns
If you have concerns about the way that the interview was conducted or that the published
process was not followed, you should raise these by email on the same day as the interview
was conducted. Correspondence should be sent to: [email protected]
Concerns will be escalated to the Clinical Lead or Lay Representative, where used, for review
and investigation. Where additional information is required, applicants will be contacted
directly by the Clinical Lead, Recruitment Lead or the Lay Representative. Once the
investigation has been completed, the applicant will be advised of the outcome.
The decision of the Clinical Lead is final. There is no further route of appeal.
Interview results will be available by close of business on Thursday 15th April 2021.
