Ace Your NHS Consultant Interview

In this episode of the Ace Your Consultant Interview podcast, Tessa and Becky tackle a brutally common scenario: you’ve failed several consultant interviews in a row and it feels like you’ll never get the job. They break down how to stop telling yourself the “I’m just terrible at interviews” story, how to ask for specific, question‑by‑question feedback, and how to spot themes such as missing senior‑level thinking rather than chasing yet another audit or QI project.​


You’ll also hear a live critique of a “tell me about a mistake” example involving safeguarding.


They then move on to the classic question “What makes a good leader?”. Finally, they share a practical tip on when and how to negotiate flexible working.
