Adjustments for Covid-19

Following the 2020 recruitment process which resulted in some face to face in person interviews being
cancelled, the plans for 2021 have been reviewed for all medical and surgical specialties by senior clinical
representatives from across the four nations, and junior doctor representatives from the BMA JDC and
AoMRC trainees’ committee, supported by the Medical and Dental Recruitment and Selection (MDRS)
team. A number of general principles have been agreed to support the appointment of doctors to Medical
training programmes. More details can be found within the Medical Specialty Applicant Handbook 2021.
We can confirm that face to face interviews have been approved and that they will be conducted online
rather than in person. Where self-assessments are being used these will be processed online and be fully
validated.

Technical requirement for the Online Interview

it. A copy of the declaration can be found on the Specialty Training Resource Bank, titled “2021
Recruitment Applicant Declaration.pdf”.

any technical issues.
Where technical difficulties are experienced during the interview process, we will firstly attempt to resume
the interview. However if we are unable to resume the interview, we will, where possible, aim to rearrange
the remainder of the interview for a 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.
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.
HEE confirm that they will not be recording your interview and candidates are required not to record the
interview either. If a candidate has been found to have recorded an interview a probity panel will be
convened to look into this breach and further action could be taken.

References
References will only be requested through the Oriel system once an offer of training has been accepted.
Referees will be contacted by email with details of their referee accounts, so it is important that the contact
details provided are correct. We strongly advice that you inform you chosen referees that you have listed
them for this so that they expect this email coming through from the Oriel system. We also recommend that
you double check the email address provided so as to avoid any issues or delay in your references being
completed.

Interview Format
The interviews will consist of one 30 minute interview which have been designed to assess the selection
criteria detailed on the 2021 Person Specification. Due to the complexities of administering interviews
online applicants will not rotate around different stations as they have done in previous years, instead the
interview will broken down into 2 main questions, both of which will also assess communication skills.
 Out-Patient Scenario
Applicants will be presented with a clinical scenario from an out patient setting and will be scored
independently by two assessors.

 Emergency Scenario
Applicants will be presented with a clinical scenario from an emergency setting and will be scored
independently by two assessors.

Please note that the assessors will be using ipads to record your scores into a secure online system.

Scoring and Ranking

Your performance in each station will be scored individually by a minimum of 2 assessors using a
structured scoring system. The scoring system has been developed by Urology Clinicians experienced in
interview and exam methodologies and is mapped to the Urology ST3 Person Specification.
Your ranking will be based upon your overall interview score and your validated self-assessment score.
HEE may set a minimum required score in any individual station and should your score in an individual
station not meet that requirement you will be ranked 0. Predetermined weightings may also be applied to
individual stations or the total score.

Appointability
Your appointability will be assessed based upon 2 factors:-
1. Total modified ANGOFF – If a candidates total score is less than the Total modified ANGOFF score,
the candidate is deemed unappoitable.
(The modified ANGOFF method requires each assessor to provide a separate appointability score,
the station scores provided by the assessors are then averaged, providing a modified ANGOFF
score for each interview station. The station scores are then added to produce the total modified
ANGOFF score.)
2. Red Flag – A candidate may be considered unappointable if a serious lack of knowledge, a
dangerous action or a probity issue is identified. In this situation an interviewer may “Red Flag” a
score sheet, the issue is then discussed with the lead clinician and/or with any other relevant person
and a decision made as to whether the candidate is deemed appointable.

Tied Scores
In the event of tied overall interview scores, the individual question scores will be used to differentiate
between candidates, if ties still remain the individual scoring domains from each question will be used to
differentiate between candidates.

Digital Scoring
Interview panel members will submit their scores and feedback notes electronically using tablet computers.
Panel members are permitted to use electronic devices for this purpose during an interview.

Lay Representatives
A Lay Representative will be present on each interview day. The Lay Representative may sit in some of
your interview stations to observe the process. The Lay Representative will not score or assess your
performance in the station; they are there to ensure the process is fair and consistent.

Confidentiality
You should ensure that the content of the interview assessments remains confidential and must not be
discussed with other applicants or published where they can be accessed by other applicants. This
includes on websites, online forums or discussion groups and all other forms of social media.
Remember, this is a competitive process and you may reduce your own chances of appointment by giving
an unfair advantage to other applicants.

Travel and Subsistence expenses

Applicants attending interviews are entitled to claim travel and subsistence allowance. Details of the
process for claiming expenses will be published on the national Urology recruitment webpage.

Reporting Issues During Your Interview

The vast majority of interviews are conducted without issue. However, if there are any issues during your
interview which may affect your assessment, it is vital that you report them to a member of the HEE
Recruitment Administration Team.
Any issues must be reported as soon as possible and before you leave the venue. This will give us the
best possible chance to investigate and, if necessary, take action to remedy the issue. It is not usually
possible to investigate issues or take remedial action after you leave the venue.
