How to prepare for clinical scenario questions in trust interviews

Question

I have an interview for a med reg post next week. Any resources for structured answers to "what would you do if..." questions?

Use the STAR format but keep it medical: Situation, Task, Action, Result. They want to hear patient safety, escalation, and reflection.

Practice out loud with a timer. 5 minutes sounds long until you start talking. Record yourself and listen back — you'll catch filler words.

My trust asked a lot about conflict with a colleague and missed results. Have 2-3 real examples ready, even if anonymised.
