My Job history

MY NHS JOB HISTORY
1) Breast Surgery-junior clinical fellow-unsuccessful
2) O&G-senior clinical fellow-unsuccessful (I have only 1 year O&G experience in Pakistan)
3) General Surgery @Maidstone and TWH, Kent.-Junior clinical fellow- successful.
4) O&G @ Swansea Hospital- Successful- I did not join as I already accepted No 3 post.

INTERVIEW LAYOUT FOR ALL OF MY INTERVIEWS:
1)      Two clinical scenarios – irrespective of underlying cause and differentials- follow ABCDE approach- That is what they are looking for.
2)      One ethical scenario. 2 of them I remember- what will you do if a patient complains you regarding your colleague’s rude behaviour (apologize), What will you do if your colleague is late on regular basis (SPIES structure-seek info, patient safety, initiate, escalate and support).
3)      What is audit, audit cycle and difference between audit and research?
4)      What qualities do you have that make you suitable for this job?
I did not study any book for interview prep.
For CMT I studied the book, “medical interviews a comprehensive guide to CT, ST and registrar”.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Medical-Interviews-2nd-comprehensive-techniques/dp/1905812175

I think this book covers almost all aspects.
