  Nigerian has been struck off the UK register after using ChatGPT to give answers during a remote NHS job interview. The registered dietician was caught using AI to provide real-time answers during a video call for a job at an NHS hospital. She kept asking the interview panel to repeat the question, before ‘slowly and deliberately’ repeating the question back herself to buy time until she had ‘model’ answers. One of the panel members put the interview questions into ChatGPT, and noted significant similarities to the answers the Nigerian had provided.

The tribunal heard that she undertook the job interview for an oncology dietician role at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in March 2024. The interview...
