To prepare for an NHS Scientist Training Programme (STP) interview, be ready to explain why you want healthcare science and your chosen specialism, what a clinical scientist does and why HCPC registration matters, and how you would balance workplace-based training with master's study. Expect values-based and ethical questions on consent, data, safeguarding and reporting errors, plus questions on teamwork with clinicians and patients, research and the NHS. Recruitment formats change from year to year, so always check the current National School of Healthcare Science guidance for how your interview will run.
