I always find that a lot of roles will refer back to the persona specification so it is always advised that you retain a copy so you can refer back to this when you go for an interview.

More than likely will revolve around competency based questions.

Has any tests been mentioned? This will be included in the invite email if so.

20 mins is more then enough

for a clerks job, there would have been 100's of applicants, so you got shortlisted on your CV/application form which means you have the experience they want

The interview will to be mainly to find out how you come across, if you fit in

They will ask questions about how you deal will high pressure roles, who has the biggest claim on what you deal with first for example, a demand from a consultant, the ringing phone , or the distressed patient

Turn up, have a tidy appearance, be friendly, be approachable. You don't have to know all the answers, for that role they are looking for people people if you know what i mean

Good luck

Most hospitals usual have visions and values, I would find out what they are, look on the hospital website also about the Caldecott principles, data protection because if you are working with patient details they will ask about confidentiality etc. This is what I was asked always look at the person specific because the questions are usually around that and know why you are applying, what you can offer the job and look at your supporting sheet because they have looked at that and seen something that they like. The interview is usually on a points system, so the more you say the better especially if you relate all your experience & what you have written to the post your applying for. Hope this helps and good luck.
