Synopsis

Written and edited by experts in medical interview skills, this book takes you through all the important aspects of Core Training (CT), Specialist Training (ST), Registrar (SpR) and Staff Grade/ Trust Grade interviews. Postgraduate medical interviews have become increasingly competitive and selection for medical training posts has become increasingly complex. This book gives you an insight into the marking schemes and explains a range of key interview techniques that you can apply to answer most interview questions. Through the detailed analysis of over 120 medical interview questions, techniques and NHS hot topics, it will give you an invaluable insight into a wide range of common medical interview topics such as: how to talk through your CV; how to answer questions on clinical governance, audit, research and teaching; how to deal with difficult ethical dilemmas on confidentiality and consent, how to handle a wide array of difficult colleagues, etc. The book also provides detailed summaries of numerous NHS issues such as the Darzi report, MMC and the Tooke report, Revalidation, the European Working Time Directive and many others. As well as formal medical interview stations, the book provides advice on how to handle role play, presentation, group discussion and other communication interview stations. Written specifically for the CT, ST, Registrar or Staff Grade/Trust grade interviews, this book will also be of valuable use to doctors preparing for consultant interviews.
