Hi,
No problem. Um, the dress code is pretty formal tbh, wear a suit or something smart because most people will. Everything they say to bring with you in your Interview letter/email bring with you, and make sure you have photocopies of your passport etc.
As for the interview, there is not a set format because so many different people are brought in to interview from around the area. Everyone is usually interviewed by 3 people - 2 doctors and a medical student. My interview was very informal, and really relaxed, I wasn't even asked why I wanted to be a doctor or why Cardiff. But DO prepare these answers because most people get asked them. Make sure you know your PS thoroughly, and go through it and write down possible questions from things you have written that could come up. Id say they will ask you about work experience, voluntary and your hobbies. Id also have a look at the four ethical principles of medicine, because they could ask you an ethics question and you will be able to apply those to a question if asked. Go over anything in the medical news recently and prepare an answer about dealing with stress perhaps.
If there is anything else, don't hesitate to ask! Good Luck! Cardiff is awesome!

Hi, i hope you don't mind but i have an interview in cardiff soon and was wondering if you could give me an idea of the format of the interview, dress code, anything other than the CRB check stuff i need to bring or anything in particular that you think I should research before i go?
Thanks x
