Everything you need to prepare and deliver a polished 10-minute consultant interview presentation, including structure, style, and delivery techniques.
Preparing
A comprehensive bank of over 300 questions, organised by topic and type, with structured answer frameworks and worked examples continually updated to reflect the latest trends.
Pausing
If you don’t succeed first time, this section helps you reflect constructively, gather feedback, and turn it into a stronger performance at your next interview.

- Worked example answers that demonstrate consultant-level responses.
- Specialised guides covering applications, pre-interview visits, presentations, question and answer strategies and more.
- Quick prep tools for when time is limited, or you join the programme late in the process.

Our Consultant Interview Coaching
Two One-to-One Coaching Sessions
- Session 1: Non-Example Questions
We focus on the challenging scenario and opinion-based questions such as “How would you improve efficiency and flow?” or “What would you do to improve morale in junior doctors?” These require clear, structured, and consultant-level responses that demonstrate your strategic thinking, judgement, and awareness of the NHS context. - Session 2: Example Questions
We then work on the experience-based questions like “Tell us about an audit or QI project you’ve done” or “Describe something you have led that shows what kind of leader you are.” Here, you’ll practise presenting your experience using tested frameworks, refine your delivery, and ensure you highlight the leadership qualities panels are looking for.
Both sessions are tailored to your CV, person specification, and target trust, and are delivered by experienced consultant interview coaches who know what panels expect.
How the Coaching Sessions Work
- Timing: We recommend scheduling your first session 7–21 days before your interview (never more than 21). The second session is set closer to your interview date, so the feedback is fresh and directly applicable.
- Preparation Guidance: From the outset, we provide personalised guidance on how to prepare, tailored to your stage in the journey – whether you’re just starting or have already been shortlisted.
- Format: Sessions are delivered online, with interactive practice, feedback, and mock interview questions.
- Outcome: You’ll leave each session with clear actions and the confidence to perform at your best.
Why Our Coaching Works
Competition for consultant posts can be fierce. It’s not enough to be clinically excellent – you must also demonstrate leadership, strategy, values, and readiness for the consultant role. That requires the right answer content, delivered in a carefully structured manner, using a language structure that ensures the panel knows you are consultant material, in their Trust and department.
Our course provides everything you need to prepare in a structured way. Adding one-to-one coaching takes this to the next level, ensuring you know exactly how to apply the knowledge to your own CV, specialty, and target trust. Coaching provides focus, real-time feedback, and a safe environment to practise under interview conditions.

- Based on our unique 8P Process, developed specifically for NHS consultant interviews.
- Coaching sessions mirror real interview conditions, making you panel-ready.
