Outline your answer using a proven framework, then rehearse under a strict 60-second countdown. Audio alert fires when time is up — practise landing your close within the buzzer.
Each registrar post, hospital type and bed base, months in post, rota pattern.
Consultant on or off site; what you decided independently; what you escalated and to whom.
The team you led: SHOs, FY1s, ACPs, nurse in charge, outreach, site team.
Admissions per take you reviewed yourself vs. oversaw via the team; inpatients covered out of hours.
Board round, handover, bed flow, arrest team, rota gaps, Datix, supervising juniors. Aim to finish by 55–58s.
• Open with a hook in 10 seconds — never "thank you for the question".
• Speak at ~150 words/min; 60s ≈ 150 words. Cut anything that isn't earning a mark.
• Practise the close — examiners remember the last sentence most.
• Record yourself; listen back for filler words ("so", "kind of", "obviously").
