Ace Your NHS Consultant Interview

In this episode, Tessa and Becky answer a core question from Academy trainees: 

“How do I deal with interview nerves just days before facing the panel?” 

Practical advice dominates - consolidate your knowledge, avoid last-minute cramming, and find your personal strategies to relax, whether it’s a bath, a walk, or a power pose. 

The pair break down a golden example of handling conflict with a colleague, revealing what makes an answer authentic and safe for interview. 

They go deep into tackling the dreaded “biggest weakness” question and offer a bulletproof framework for answering with honesty, without undermining yourself. 

This episode is all about equipping you with the mindset - and tactics - to walk into your NHS consultant interview calm, confident and ready to impress.
