What is the Nuclear Medicine ST3 interview, and how do you practise for it?
Nuclear Medicine ST3 national recruitment interview (NHS England; Nuclear Medicine and Clinical Radiology share one selection process): two 15-minute panel stations. Station A covers your portfolio, your understanding of the specialty and your skills; Station B is a clinical scenario prioritisation question, then coping with pressure and managing uncertainty, then team involvement. You are the requesting clinician, not a radiologist, and you are not tested on image interpretation. MedMock lets you practise it out loud against an AI interview panel, with examiner-style feedback on any station you finish.

About Nuclear Medicine (ST3) recruitment
- Nuclear medicine does not use the national Physician HST process. It is recruited alongside clinical radiology, which is coordinated by London and KSS (LaKSS) Recruitment.
- Nuclear medicine training is a dual CCT programme with clinical radiology, over an indicative six years of higher specialty training.
- The programme has three years focused on clinical radiology (80% of training time), then an indicative three years focused on nuclear medicine (80% of training time), during which trainees complete a postgraduate diploma in nuclear medicine.
- Entry is two years of Internal Medicine Training or three years of ACCS-IM with full MRCP(UK), three years of Level 1 Paediatrics with full MRCPCH, or two years of Core Surgical Training with full MRCS, or equivalent.
- The nuclear medicine interview is on Friday 12 March 2027, online through Qpercom Recruit, with 2 stations of up to 15 minutes each. Applicants who applied for both nuclear medicine and clinical radiology attend one interview.
- In the first interview station a panel member reviews the applicant's uploaded portfolio evidence, and the first 2 questions are about the portfolio. The second station has 3 sections on the person specification.
- The portfolio review is 40% of the final score and the interview stations 60%. To be appointable an applicant needs a minimum of 48 out of 80 overall.

How it works
Choose a station

Have the conversation
Speak naturally, out loud. The AI interviewer listens and asks the demanding follow-ups, just as a real interviewer would.
Get instant feedback
The moment you finish, you get specific, examiner-style feedback and a score — what you did well, what cost you marks, and precisely what to fix before the next attempt.
Practise every scenario
MedMock covers the stations you will face in the Nuclear Medicine ST3 interview. Rehearse each one until it feels routine.
Station A — Portfolio, Specialty and Skills
Station A: two questions on your portfolio, a question on your understanding of the specialty, and a skills question, with follow-up questions.
Station B — Clinical Scenario, Pressure and Teamwork
Station B: a clinical scenario prioritisation question in which you act on a report as the requesting clinician — escalation, prioritisation and safe handover — then questions on coping with pressure and managing uncertainty, and on team involvement.
Sample Nuclear Medicine (ST3) interview questions
Two questions from the topics that come up most in MedMock's Nuclear Medicine (ST3) bank.
