About the role

This interview examines how you detect, investigate and reduce healthcare-associated infection across a working hospital. The panel is looking for analytical discipline, practical controls and the influence to change behaviour when clinical and operational pressures compete.

How to prepare

  1. Review case definitions, basic surveillance measures and the steps of an outbreak investigation.
  2. Prepare an example where you checked data quality before recommending action.
  3. Think through infection controls for unreliable water, crowded wards and limited isolation space.
  4. Practise explaining how observation, feedback and local ownership can change staff behaviour.
  5. Check the official Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria site for current licence and professional requirements.

Common mistakes

  • Calling a cluster an outbreak without checking definitions, timing and data quality.
  • Relying on one-off training without observing whether practice changes.
  • Recommending controls that cannot be sustained in the actual clinical setting.
