NHS Medical Laboratory Assistant interview questions

I was invited to an interview about a week after the job closing date. I applied for a band 2 MLA in the pathology department/histology. I was interviewd by two Biomedical scientists. The inteview was easy, very scripted, they asked about 8 questions. I was offered the job on the same day.

The application process was quite long online, however, that is to be expected with healthcare related jobs. I recieved my invitation to interview about a week after through email and I confirmed my slot online. The interview itself was easy, I was only asked about 8 questions. 2 of which I couldn't respond to as they were very laboratory based (in terms of equipment they used) and I had no previous experience. I do have experience in geberal lab however. The two staff members that interviewed me were very understanding and said they would expect that from my background not being in this type of field. I recieved a phone call the day after offering me the position, subject to reference and DBS checks.
