About this title

Review

A very well written book, excellent grounding for consultant interview practice.. or the real thing! Very good. Tells you most of the things you need to go. Useful to read first before searching for more up to date info on the internet. This book is concise, very focussed and specific to the needs of the interview. Often, the time between shortlisting and interview is limited and this book is just exact for preparation within such a time frame. Book describes the various and many stages of NHS reforms over the last 20 years, and outlines many of the reports that these changes have been based on. Provides essential reading for anyone going for a consultant interview, or really anyone at the later stages of medical training who wants to understand a bit more about where the NHS is and how it got there. --.

Synopsis

Achieving Consultant status remains the ambition and pinnacle in the eyes of most hospital doctors. The stakes are high, the competition is intense, and the selection process is discerning. It is important, therefore, that the interview process is understood, and that the commonly asked questions and pitfalls are examined in order to prepare meticulously. Despite the importance of this interview, it is probable that most doctors do not invest sufficient time and effort preparing for it. This book will address a variety of important issues, including: Recommendations with regard to preparation prior to application. Visiting the institution post shortlisting, the makeup of the interview panel and presentations. Behaviour traits to adopt and avoid during the interview. General principles for answers to commonly asked questions pertaining to factual knowledge, opinion and scenarios.

Additional summaries of 'hot topics' such as Government targets and Foundation Trusts The information and guidance given in this book will hopefully go a long way towards helping you with your interview preparation, equipping you with the right behavioural skills and empowering you with the knowledge and confidence to succeed in your Consultant interview.
