Top Tips
We would recommend revising blood related management for patients, which would be suitable for the jobs you are applying for. For example if you are applying to primary care, being able to appropriately manage deranged LFTs, U&Es, glucose etc.
OSCE style related questions also have a tendency to creep up in interviews. Sometimes they can even give you answers to your history questions to see how you would handle situations.
Make sure you’re up to date with emergency medical situations like ABCDE…especially for secondary care roles.
Good luck! Preparation is key and more often than not you can mold a few of the answers to suit different questions!
