Your NHS interview is likely to be an online video call. Find out the details of which video meeting platforms are most often used by NHS hospitals, how to use them and where to download them from:
Microsoft Teams
In Microsoft Teams, you can meet, chat, call and collaborate with everyone you work with – all in one place.
If your interview will be held on Microsoft Teams, you’ll be sent a diary invite with a link to join a Microsoft Teams meeting at the scheduled time and date.
You can sign up to Microsoft Teams for free. You can also download the app on both your desktop or mobile.

Zoom
Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing service you can use to virtually meet with others – either by video or audio-only (or both).
If your interview will be held on Zoom, then you’ll either be sent a link to join a meeting or you’ll be sent a meeting ID (for you to input on the Zoom website or apps).
Both free and paid plans are available with Zoom. You can download their app on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.

Skype
Skype is another service that enables people to make and receive free voice and video calls over the internet using a computer, web browser, or mobile phone.
To get started with Skype, you can download Skype to your device (desktop or mobile), create a free account and then sign in. You can also join a Skype call via your browser, without signing up or downloading the app, if a link is shared with you.
