Had to complete two data entry practicals and then a 30-45 minute ish interview with 3 panel members. One data entry practical was a speed typing test (online) and the other required me to enter patient information from a document into word - i had to complete as many as i could in 15 minutes..i had to enter things like the patients name, the reason for their visit etc.

I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (Bolton, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Went smooth but was unprepared. It was with 5 people, after interview went to different place to do a physical test. I'd say it went smoothly but then it relied on having experience (even tho it wasnt necessary).
