About the role
This executive interview examines how you lead a portfolio of public health programmes, not just one technical project. The panel wants strategic prioritisation, disciplined governance, responsible use of public resources and credible leadership across health services, communities and delivery partners.
How to prepare
- Prepare a clear example of setting priorities across competing population health needs.
- Review how you use coverage, quality, equity and outcome evidence together.
- Think through a budget reduction scenario and the principles behind your choices.
- Prepare an example of correcting a programme that appeared busy but was not improving results.
- Check the relevant official health authority for current policies and programme guidance.
Common mistakes
- Listing activities without explaining population outcomes or equity.
- Treating every programme as equally important when resources are constrained.
- Relying on partner reports without an independent view of delivery quality.
- Presenting strategy without clear governance, accountability or corrective action.
