Tessa and Becky asked doctors what actually scares them about the interview process, and four fears came up again and again: freezing on a question, rambling without structure, embarrassment in front of future colleagues, and ending up in the wrong location for their family. None of it is about being good enough as a doctor, it's about interview prep skills, and every one of these fears is fixable with the right training.
We also break down whether the panel can see what you wrote on your shortlisting or application form (spoiler: assume it's a clean slate), and review a golden example of conflict with a patient involving an angry man with a diabetic foot ulcer who didn't want to be admitted. From there we tackle a genuinely tricky EDI question, "how has EDI impacted you as an individual", and why the safer, stronger answer focuses on your impact on others rather than oversharing something personal about yourself.
Finally, our very 2026 tip of the week: don't start your presentation with AI. We explain why plugging your presentation title into Claude or any AI tool gets you a generic vision for the service with zero connection to your own USPs, and why AI is a great tool to refine your work later, but a terrible one to build it from scratch.
