Abstract
Introduction:
Recruitment to Paediatric Senior House Officer (SHO) posts has traditionally been undertaken by each individual hospital trust. This study looks at a regional recruitment process.
Methods:
Shortlisting was carried out in a single day marking application forms according to set criteria. A 3 station interview was used.
Results:
Reliability for both shortlisting and interviews was high (G co-efficients > or = 0.8).
Discussion:
This regional recruitment process for SHOs showed high reliability and is a model applicable to all specialties.

01:29Reliability and Validity
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
01:25Distribution Reliability and Automation
Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...
