About the role

This interview tests whether you can manage complex paediatric patients while supporting junior doctors and the wider ward team. The panel is looking for structured clinical reasoning, calm escalation and sensitive communication with children and families.

How to prepare

  1. Review age-specific assessment, fluid management and common paediatric emergencies.
  2. Prepare a case in which new evidence changed your differential diagnosis or treatment plan.
  3. Practise explaining risk and uncertainty to a worried parent in plain language.
  4. Think through how you supervise a junior colleague without delaying urgent care.
  5. Check the official professional body for current registration and practising requirements.

Common mistakes

  • Using adult thresholds or doses without accounting for the child's age and weight.
  • Listing investigations without explaining immediate stabilisation and escalation.
  • Ignoring the role of parents and carers in consent and ongoing care.
