You might want to think about the NHS 6Cs and think of examples of how you meet them. -Prioritisation questions are common -Know your basic neuro, MSK and respiratory assessments as you can apply this to clinical questions. -Conflict management, or escalating problems such as patient fell what do you do, or staff member not washing their hands properly or has poor moving and handing... -Know your clinical governance 7 pillars especially information governance. - General understanding of common presentations such as stroke, Parkinson’s, OA, COPD. -Basic treatments such as ACBT -ABG blood gas interpretation. -Know your medical observation normal values . - Red flags in MSK. -How you can be adaptive and respond to change. -Recent CSP information, initiatives and drives... lots to do with equality and diversity, COVID and mental health at the moment. -Know about the Trust, what do they offer for you particularly, what are you interested in? Mentoring schemes? Teaching? CPD opportunities. -Recent research you’ve done? Articles you have read?
