Your preparation programme

Core Preparation

Learn the approach. Build your evidence. Improve your answers.

More than a question bank: a structured workspace to turn what you know and what you’ve done into stronger interview answers.

  • Understand the question. Explore specialty questions, cases and study guides where available.
  • Example bank. Develop your own leadership, teamwork, teaching and QI evidence, ready to use across different questions.
  • Type or dictate. Get structured AI feedback on your answer, then make a focused improvement.
  • Keep building. Return to saved answers, examples and feedback as your preparation develops.

Live, adaptive spoken practice · Coming at launch

You answer aloud. The interviewer adapts in real time.

Speak naturally. The AI interviewer listens, follows up on what you say and can probe your portfolio evidence when you choose to share it.

  1. Hear the question

    The AI interviewer asks the question aloud, so practice feels like a conversation rather than a text chat.

  2. Answer out loud

    Use your microphone and answer naturally. Your spoken response becomes part of the interview transcript.

  3. Get follow-up based on your answer

    The interviewer listens to the content of your answer and can probe what you said, your evidence and the gaps you leave.

  4. Coach it, then test it

    Coach mode gives feedback and lets you retry. Interview mode removes the hints and keeps feedback until the mock is complete.

Built around your evidence

Personalisation should change the questions, not just your name.

The preparation context is deliberately specific to this interview route. The aim is to help you choose, explain and defend your own evidence rather than memorise someone else's answer.

  1. CV, Oriel application or portfolio notes

  2. Your real teaching, leadership, audit and QI examples

  3. Radiology exposure, motivation and specialty understanding

  4. Previous answers and developing Example Bank

Verified 2027 interview format

Two focused stations, with your evidence under scrutiny.

NHS England confirms two online 2027 stations of up to 15 minutes each. Station A opens with two portfolio questions, followed by two further scored sections; Station B has three scored sections. Exact topics are not all specified.

View official Clinical Radiology recruitment guidance

The 2027 guidance does not name every station topic. Prioritisation, uncertainty and teamwork remain useful practice themes, not a guaranteed question sequence.

  1. Station A: two opening portfolio questions, then two scored sections based on the 2027 person specification.

  2. Station B: three scored sections based on the 2027 person specification; a clinical question has a separate appointability threshold.

  3. Final 2027 ranking is 70% interview and 30% portfolio. The MSRA is used for shortlisting.

Two ways to practise

Learn with support. Then remove it.

Coach mode

Build the answer before you test it.

Coach Mode can use your portfolio and developing examples to improve ownership, structure, reflection and prioritisation while you are still learning.

  • Immediate feedback after your answer
  • Focused follow-up on weak or vague parts
  • Retry with a stronger structure
  • Compare your own examples where another one fits better

Interview mode

Then remove the safety net.

Interview Mode keeps the same personal context but withholds hints and coaching until the mock is complete.

  • No answer coaching during the mock
  • Adaptive follow-up questioning
  • Portfolio-aware probing
  • Structured feedback after the interview
