Thousands of medical students sat the situational judgement test earlier this year, their results critical to which deanery they would end up in. However an error with the marking meant that some of them had their resulting allocations withdrawn, and were left in limbo whilst their papers were re-marked.

In this podcast, student editor Isobel Weinberg talks to Neil Chanchlani, final year medical student, about how the fiasco affected him, and Derek Gallen, national director, UK Foundation Programme Office, about what went wrong.
