The biggest mistake candidates make isn't not knowing enough, it's not knowing what to do when they don't know something. Tessa and Becky tackle the fear that keeps candidates up at night: getting asked about a specific policy or report they've never read. We explain exactly which reports you actually need to know (yes, the 10 Year Plan and the GIRFT report make the list) and, more importantly, what to say in the moment if you genuinely blank, because saying "I pass" is the one answer guaranteed to score zero.

We also review a patient safety golden example that starts brilliantly and then falls apart, a great lesson in why nitpicking your examples before the interview is time well spent. From there we dig into a question that's becoming more common across every specialty: "How do you create a culture where people feel safe to speak up?" We explain why generic answers like "I have an open door policy" fall flat, and what panels actually want to hear instead.

Finally, we cover what to do in the crucial few days before your interview, and it is not more reading. We talk through how to shift your focus to practising out loud, protecting your headspace, and building the kind of mindset that genuinely changes how you perform on the day, plus who you should (and shouldn't) be talking to in that final run-up.
