Consultant Interview Preparation
Your training has finally come to an end and you have that one last hurdle left. The Consultant interview can be incredibly stressful and you start to realise that training hasn't quite prepared you for consultant life. I understand that so very much. Everyone has trust that you are clinically sound but the interview will assess you in so many other ways. Can you be a leader? How do you manage a crisis? How can you ensure you communicate well in various scenarios? This course is different to others that you may have heard about. The aim of the course isn't only to help you answer the question well but in this two day course we will teach you consultant related topics so that you are informed and be in a position to think beyond the question.
​
Course Structure
Two day course
Day One
The first day focuses on teaching you the material and how you should start thinking like a consultant
Topics covered:
- Leadership
- Communication, negotiation and building trust
- Conflict resolution
- NHS Funding
- CQC Vistis
- Dealing with complaints
- Equality, Diversity and Inequality
- Giving Feedback
- Preparing a presentation for the interview
- Plus more
​
Day Two
The second day focuses on interview practice. Group sizes are kept small (3-4). You will be allocated a morning or afternoon session and in your session you will rotate across three 45 minute stations who will be headed by either a consultant or a manager who typically sits on consultant interviews. Feedback will be given throughout the course.
​
How is this course different to others?
- Two day course to ensure topics are not rushed and are well understood
- Interview topics are covered directly rather than just through questions
- Service managers who typically sit and ask HR/Governance related questions are tutors on the course ​

Plenty of time to practice and very constructive and honest feedback. 2 days allowed more practice including speciality practice. Thank you so much
​I liked how it pushed me to answer question after question. I wouldn't have felt confident in doing so many at this stage. It helped me get a feel for the answers I need to prepare more for.
