Starting to think about your NHS Consultant Interview Prep? Join the waitlist for my Ace Your Consultant Interview Academy. I’ll let you know as soon as the Academy doors open https://info.medicalinterviewprep.com/waitlist?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=transistor&utm_content=t-ep26 In this episode of the Ace Your Consultant Interview podcast, Tessa and Becky answer a real Academy student question about a panel member who complained that candidates “reel off their CV highlights.” They then dig into a golden duty of candour example involving incorrect bowel prep and an enema for a child.Next up is a common but unsettling question: “What is the value of having diversity in your leadership?” Tessa and Becky talk through how to pause, think it through, and discuss why these examples are worth preparing in advance rather than trying to improvise on the day.​They wrap up with their favourite tool: the three‑point structure. You’ll learn how using three clear pillars anchors you when your mind goes blank, forces breadth and depth in equal measure, keeps your timing in the right zone, and makes your answers far easier for panels to follow and score. By the end, you’ll know how to turn vague, waffly responses into organised, confident answers for your NHS consultant interview.Sign up for our free 5-day email course to give you ​a Crash Course To Ace Your Consultant Interview​: https://aceyourconsultantinterview.com
