Ace Your NHS Consultant Interview

In this episode of the Ace Your Consultant Interview podcast, Tessa Davis and Becky Platt break down how to handle common obstacles in preparing for NHS consultant interviews. 

They address whether to use earlier or cross-speciality projects to showcase skills, share advice on managing examples of conflict - especially where there’s a power imbalance - and provide practical steps for responding to broad governance questions. 

The discussion centres around making the most of transferable skills, shaping compelling unique selling points, and using intentional pauses for higher-impact, measured answers.
