About the role
This interview focuses on caring for unstable patients who need close monitoring and organ support. The panel wants evidence that you can interpret trends, manage high-risk equipment and medicines, prevent infection and communicate changes without delay.
How to prepare
- Review systematic assessment of a deteriorating ventilated patient and the common causes of alarms.
- Refresh your checks for infusion pumps, vasoactive medicines, central lines and arterial lines.
- Prepare a case where an observation trend led you to intervene before a crisis.
- Revise aseptic care and daily review of invasive devices.
- Practise a concise intensive care handover that states support, risks and immediate priorities.
Common mistakes
- Responding to a monitor or ventilator alarm without assessing the patient first.
- Naming observations without interpreting their direction or clinical meaning.
- Discussing infusions without independent checks, line tracing or response monitoring.
- Giving a handover that lists tasks but misses current risks.
