About the role
This interview covers assessment and treatment of communication needs as well as clinical decisions around swallowing safety. The panel wants thoughtful assessment choices, functional therapy goals, strong family coaching and confident communication of risk to the wider team.
How to prepare
- Revise assessment choices for common adult and paediatric communication presentations.
- Practise explaining aspiration warning signs and immediate safety actions.
- Prepare an example of adapting therapy when the first approach did not engage the patient.
- Think of practical ways to coach families and carers without overwhelming them.
- Check the official professional body for current registration requirements and professional standards relevant to the position.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a standardised assessment without explaining why it suits the person.
- Discussing swallowing therapy without immediate aspiration precautions.
- Setting impairment-based goals with no link to daily communication.
- Giving families a fixed prognosis that the available evidence cannot support.
