In this episode of the Ace Your Consultant Interview podcast, Tessa and Becky tackle three themes that keep coming up for final year trainees and locum consultants: KPIs, consultant‑level examples, and psychological safety.

They start with a real Academy question: where on earth do you find meaningful KPIs for your speciality beyond the generic “time to clinic” and “readmission rates”? You’ll hear a clear explanation of what KPIs actually are, where to look for them, and how to pick the ones that let you talk confidently about both national standards and your own projects.

Next, they dissect a powerful but very “registrar‑ish” MDT example and show you how to upgrade it into a consultant‑level answer by shifting from one‑patient stories to service‑wide quality improvement, USPs and system knowledge. If you’ve ever wondered whether your examples “sound senior enough”, this section will give you a simple way to stress‑test them.

They then dive into the interview question, “What does psychological safety mean to you?” and break it into concrete, answerable parts.

To close, Tessa and Becky take on the myth of “buzzwords that make you sound like a consultant” and show you what panels are really listening for.
