this session is too, So I'll give you some tips About how to how How you go about checking sfp interview. Hopefully by now. At this point, uh, you have also applied, uh, for the SFP programs. Uh, and you sort of waiting or may have already heard, uh, from from the injuries or the unit of application that you've been invited to an interview? If yes. Congratulations. It's not, uh, some some theories do take some time to reply back to you. When? When you're going to get into, so be so Don't don't lose hope. Stay positive. So first of all, I just, uh Let's just start off something very, very general. So what was the f the interview involved? So, Doctor, when do you want to sort of speak about your experience about the interview? Yeah. So I had applied for both Northwest and, um lnr I, which includes Lester. Unfortunately, didn't get an interview for Northwest, but I can speak about my interview from Lester. Well, lnr I, um So I know that a FPs the interviews they can start sfp interviews can now include either the clinical part, the critical appraisal part or the personal questions with the general interview questions, Um, at Lester. Specifically, we had a critical appraisal and the personal questions element of the interview. Um, it was I remember the personal questions. Part was about four questions, and they asked you those and give you an answer. And then they move on to the next question. They were sort of separate from each other rather than it being a conversation, but so they work through the questions. And then the critical appraisal part gave me an abstract. Had about 10 minutes to look at that in one room to move on to the next room where they had the two people sat waiting. And then they work through questions, set questions with you. So all in all it was about maybe I was there for about 40 minutes. I think it's slightly different now. Obviously, given covert and everything, it's all online. But my questions were in person, traveled there, were there for maybe half day, sat there about 40 minutes worth of interview, came back. Uh, yeah, so that was the interview process to me. I think other places will have a different combination of either critical appraisal, clinical questions or the personal questions. And I think probably the personal questions in terms of why you want to do a pft will be present in all of the interviews. And then it'll be a different combination of the other ones. Yeah, I think so. So I'll talk about my experience as well. So I applied to Yorkshire and hum and the stuffing, uh, luckily got invited to interview for Bones. So again, very similar is sort of three different stations that we do. One is the personal personal station where they ask about what you want to do. A pft Uh, what have you done in terms of, uh, research, uh, teaching. Um, they also specifically in Yorkshire and hum because they do two types of HPV do medical education one and research AFP and And they will ask you, uh, at the start whether you want to do med medical education or whether you want to do research. And and from that, they sort of change their questions as to, you know, ask you about things that you've If you've said that you want to do research sfp, they'll ask you questions about research if, if they if you want said you wanted to do a medical education? SFE They'll ask you about questions about medical education and teachings that you've done and again so clinical scenario, which will go through a little bit later and then the critical appraisal. So, uh, yeah, so again for the East of England interview East Anglia interview. They give me an abstract and sort of read through about 10 minutes and then talk through a little bit about various definitions of different things and then just to generally talk to you about abstract and things. So, uh, so my one was was was a virtual interview. So both of them are virtually, uh, because of Cove in that year. Uh, and I suspect that will probably be the case for this year as well. If nothing changes, so they'll sort of send you an interview link. It will either be on assume or Microsoft teams. So it's really important that you find out which platform that they're using and have that application downloaded before the actual interview. And and so you won't be panicking, sort of downloading the, uh, the the app on that specific day just before that. Yeah. Uh, so I think we sort of touched on this as well in terms of the format of interview. So, uh, generally, it will either be two or three, uh, stations that you go through. One will be the clinical scenario, which they'll run through with you. Um, and, uh, we'll talk a little bit more about that later. And the other one, um so some deliveries will do to some dinners You only once. So some. So it's the personal and the and the and the academic interview. So so so some. The dinner is that we only do two stages to sort of combined the personal and academic interview into one. And and it's almost, uh, in format of like an MMI multiple minute interview that you do for medical school when you go from one station to another. Whereas if it's a virtual, then you go from one virtual room to another virtual room. Is that is that similar to, you know, in here as well? And yeah, So it was Yeah. Actually, now I mean, the interviews for the medical school for a little while ago, I hadn't really thought about it like that, but I guess, yeah, it was. It was like that in terms of stations. And it was it was almost I mean, saying it was a bit like a ski. Sounds a bit daunting, but it was it was like that in the sense that you sit outside the room. Um and then, I mean, this is what it was like when I was at the union. I was like you to sit outside the room, and then they call you in for when you're ready. So there is that sort of in between period between each station, I guess where you have a bit of time to process the station that you just had and then prepare yourself for the next station. So I guess it was similar. Yes. To me, you have that sort of is good, because you have the period too. Okay, I I did that bit now. And the next people that haven't met me, So you know, this first impressions all over again. And next question and the next topic? I guess so. Yeah. It was similar in that way. Yeah. Yeah, that's a very good point as well. Uh, so say, like you, for example, didn't do think that you didn't do too well in in one of the stations. Don't don't get put up by it, and so you can pick up points at the different stations they look at the interview. Asshole and interview is only part of their scoring process for for the S F. P. C. Actually, they also look at your academic test scores. Um, some, some dangerous will get how many, uh, publications or how many presentations I have done. So it is. It is an important part of the application, but it's not. Not the most important part, I would say. Yeah, definitely. And I think, um, so the first part that I had was the critical appraisal part, which I thought was I was less confident about that part. So in some ways, it was good that I could get it out of the way. And then I did that part and some of the questions I found difficult, but I was glad to have that period in between. I mean, I don't know how long it was actually in minutes, but I was outside, and I had some time to compose myself and think, Okay, you know, the next part. I feel stronger about practice for this. Um, so I felt a bit more confident. And it was, you know, fresh people. No one saw. What? My answer for critical appraisal so I could carry on and try and show off what I did have in that sort of element of the interview. Yeah. Yeah. Let's let's talk about that a little bit more in terms of the critical appraisal station. Um what? What would that involve? We talked a little bit about We'll get an abstract, and then they'll ask questions about it. What sort of questions did you get? So, um, I actually have the feedback form from the interview that I had. It doesn't say the specific questions, but it gives a general topic. So I I think my video will disconnect when I go on. But if I just have a look at the sort of feedback that I had, I can tell you guys what was involved. So, um, for the critical appraisal part, the first part they scored me on, they asked me to get a summary of the findings of the paper, so I had the just come back so that I had the 10 minutes of your sat down, so I turned up and then I'm waiting for my interview slots. And then it comes you all in groups. And then my group got called up. And then we all go into one room and it's almost a bit like an exam. Such preparation. I know it'd be different. I'm not sure how it will work in terms of maybe, you know, this better, actually, in terms of how they send you the information of critical appraisal. But I had the abstract sent given to me. I had 10 minutes to read that and sort of process, you know, the information. Then we were We were taken away from that paper, so I didn't have that paper anymore, taken to another room. And then they had the fresh print of the abstract. And then they asked the questions and the questions they ask them were things like, So the first one was about. I had to give a brief summary of the findings of the paper I and then we talked through the level of evidence in terms of, uh, well, I guess that's an opportunity for you to critique the paper and the strength of the outcome measures that they had. Then there were questions about the trial design. I mean, it was a little while it was about two years ago, so I can't remember specifically the question that they were looking at the trial and the format that they've chosen in the method that they've chosen for that trial. And I guess at that point, the they're not just looking for you to say exactly what it was that perhaps, why they might have chosen that with the benefits of them choosing that. So there's always an opportunity for you within the time limit to give a little bit more look a little bit more into why they're asking that question. Um, and then looking at this, the feedback that they gave me, they Then they asked me a few questions about diagrams that we're in the abstract, which was the bit that I struggled with because they were asking what what? It was a picture of the diagram, and they asked me what is the name of that diagram and what style it was. And I didn't know what the answer was for that and and I just said I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what the name of that specific diagram is in terms of style. And then they tried to. They asked me a few more questions about the diagram, which I think I gave like, a half answer, really? But it was I didn't know it, and I think it's better if you sometimes it's better if you say I'm not sure rather than sort of try and blagh your way through it. Um, but those are the questions that I have. The critical appraisal, a little bit of stats and a little bit of you know, you need to know your knowledge of research. I mean trial types and and the benefits and cons of different methodology and then obviously just trying to run around and establish how much you how much knowledge you have of the different trial types. Yeah, that's that's very that's very interesting. So I had similar things as well. So, uh, if it's conducted virtually they, uh so they will send the document to you, uh, in the chat and And you have about 10 minutes to look at it. Uh, and then when I was doing it. I'll have the zoom or Microsoft on half of the screen, and they have checked on the other half of the screen so I can constantly refer back to it and the things that they would ask again. Uh, they I don't know whether this is true for other deliveries, but I certainly get asked about, uh, several definitions of, uh of things. Like what? What? What is relative risk? What they call ratio. Uh, and and I think most of the time what I've heard from other AFP, uh, doctors as well is that the type of study that they tend to choose? Uh, random randomized control trials or observational studies? Because these are the type of studies where they are sort of more discussion points in some in terms of different types of bias. Uh, what is a double blind trial with the single blind trial? Uh, what error? What's what's validity and what's, um, sort of, uh, what's the difference between, uh, I can't remember that? Um, yeah, but anyway, yeah, and and they would they would, Yes. Talk about the type of study, the level of evidence, and and And one question that I think they quite like to ask as well is, um how do you think this can be translated into clinical practice or or they will ask, Or do you think this would be relevant? Uh, do you think this would change our clinical practice or something like that? So they will also want to look at how sort of in terms of how you would self translate the of research into into whether it would help change clinical practice. That's one of the 11 question that is sometimes like to ask as well, um, yeah. So definitions of things are different types of studies. Um, I think probably read up a little bit on those before you go for the interview. So So the second type of stations, the very common is the clinical scenario stations. So the Doctor Chen. So how How was that for you? The clinical scenario. So I didn't have a session on a scenario for the clinical scenario element. I just had the critical appraisal and the personal interview questions. My flatmate at the time had a clinical scenario question. From what she told me, it sounded very much when I was preparing for interview I was worried that that was the interview station that I was most worried about because, um, well, it just could be anything I felt like. But from what she said, it sounded like it was very much. They just want they want to know that you're safe. Firstly, and And secondly, it was not. It wasn't like a mosque. It was more like a I'm giving you the scenario. Give me your thought process on what happened. Um, and what you would do? Sort of step by step. Obviously, I didn't actually have the scenario myself, so I don't know. Did you have the scenario for your interview? Yeah, I did. So it's almost almost like a discussion. Like Like like when? I don't know whether, uh, you've had this before. It's like, almost like a case based discussion where they present to you a scenario, for example, Uh, you know the medical F one? Uh, you've been asked to see a patient who, uh, scoring on the news to chart or this This and this. This is the patient's background. What would you do? And and I think the most important thing you want to you you want to show the interviewers, Is that you for any situations? That is sort of that, For example, you've been asked to see a patient, uh, CD or you've been of call to to see a scenario to see, uh, and you you always want to go by the A B C D. Approach. So the every briefing, circulation, disability exposure, which I'm sure you're all very familiar with. Um, and that's That's the That's the approach you want to go for. And and once you're going, when you're going through that scenario, you can ask the interview for for information, for example, you can ask them, Oh, I would like to know what's the respiratory patient future rate is or I would like to, and you can say things like, Oh, I would like to take some blood or I would like to put a candidate at this at this moment in time and things like that, uh, and then and then towards towards the end of your a B c. D. Maybe they'll ask you questions about a B, C D. Or they'll ask a lot of questions about what investigations when you do What what what's your differential diagnosis. And then and then they will work through it. Uh, in the in the east of England interview, they also gave me, um uh, investigations result to interpret. So they gave me, uh, show them the screen. Uh, some blood test results, and they asked me to say Okay, so you thought about those differentials. Now what? What's your differential diagnosis now is does this change your differential diagnosis list? Let's just confirm something or exclude something. So I think the most important part is you go through the A B c D. Approach systematically, uh, and and and I'm sure you'll you'll be fine with the clinical scenario station. I think the thing to remember is that they're not going to ask you something that is completely out of the blue. In the end, you're you're interviewing for a foundation post, and in foundation, you're not expected to know everything. So I think when we were prepping for interviews, particularly my friends, she knew she had the clinical scenario with the the Oxford Handbook. She went through in the, you know, towards the back. They got the emergency section, which gives a good a brief summary of things to consider, You know, the management plan, working through 80 and then the steps beyond that, she went through that, made herself familiar, familiarized herself with the world. That and then that's the prep that you did for that section. But ultimately, you know, you've just got to show that you know when to get senior assistance and to give a safe management. You know, you don't need to do anything drastic, you know? Yeah. Yeah. It will be something that you would have all seen. Definitely. Uh, I've never heard of, uh, someone going to interview and get get a scenario which really bizarre, really rare diagnosis yet that they're not looking for those Just as a doctor in said they just want to make sure that you're safe. You're safe, doctor, that they can supervise you. That, uh, situation. So how to prepare for an interview? Um, do you want to come in on that, doctor? Um, yeah. So interview. Prep wise. I know that some of you are still waiting to hear from the different theories about interviews and whether you've been invited for an interview. But I would encourage you to start prepping. I've seen you know you can't prep too early and say What I did for my interview prep was I had. So I've got a few books out at the library because I know that I needed for my critical appraisal to do a little bit more, um, reading and revision and then perhaps some of the other elements of the interviews. So I got a couple of I went to the library. I just had a quick browse. Um, look for a book that I had a good summary of research methods different. You know, uh, covers the statistical analysis side of things that I could just skim at, um, and just remind myself because I know that I did a B S c. But that was between 2nd and 3rd year. So it was quite early on. Um, and I just needed to recap that side. So for the critical appraisal, like I'd recommend if you're not, if you don't feel confident, have a look at whatever resource suits you be that books or YouTube videos or going over your revision notes. Um, if anything, just to make yourself feel a bit more comfortable with the different, um sort of technical terms and the questions that might arise. Um, and then I'd say, practice, practice, practice. So I was fortunate at the time that I had friends and I had a partner at the time who would do interview practice with me most nights. So, um, it sounds like a lot of work, but I'd probably do just a couple of questions. Um, most, most days, to be honest in the work up to the interview. Um, so it may be work through a couple of the interview questions, that sort of generic interview questions that you'd expect those sort of the Why do you want to do AFP? You know what things will you gain from this? And then we did a few of the critical appraisal questions in which they would pick just. They just look on the Internet for any kind of research are school. Send it over to me. I'd have a look at it for the 10 minutes as if I was practicing for the real thing. Look at it for 10 minutes. Look at the abstract, um, and then go through some questions. Well, firstly, every time I would describe to them what the paper was about. So that was good practice to summarize what I've read. Um and then we'll go through a few questions, practice questions about statistical analysis. What did this result mean? How? What implication does this have? And on clinical practice, how can this translate to real life? Um, and clinical scenarios. Um, and I think that practice was hugely beneficial because you need to be able to firstly know how to deal with the question that you haven't prepared for and be able to quickly think in that period. Okay, they've asked me this question. What exactly are they looking for? And how can I use this question, too? Showcase the experience that I've had, and only by practice can you do that in a sort of fluent way. That doesn't seem Slattery. And I definitely found that as I went on, and as I practiced this sort of day by day, it became a bit more natural. So I had a mock interview early on with I think there were a couple of AFP doctors in at my uni who ran some mock interviews. I did one. I did a session with them and I mean it went okay, But I was a bit I didn't really enjoy the process and I hadn't really practiced for it. And I thought, you know, we'll just see how it goes. I didn't go brilliantly, went fine, but we'll see where things to improve on, then started doing nightly or evening in the evening, you know, work through a couple questions. Um and then by the time I went to do the next mark interview is it was much more natural and fluent and I knew okay, so I'm trying to think of the question in particular. So I think there are a couple of questions of you know, what challenges are there for of doing AFP, And then I would answer in a way that that answers that question but also brings back some points from my from my previous experience. So I'd say, Oh, I think some of the challenges would be balancing clinical and research time and making sure that I get all my competencies signed off for foundation for the clinical side. But I've had some experience of that by doing, uh, my students selected component during the university and I had because the project extended beyond the allocated period. I have to balance that with competing my, um, court procedures for four years. So I had some experience of balancing both the research time and the clinical time. Um, so you sort of find a way of introducing the experience that you've had in a way that will also answer the questions, You know what I mean? You get, you get to show up what you've done alongside answering those questions, and it's only by actually practicing it that you, um, that you become more comfortable with introducing those subjects without it's sounding like, Oh, I just want to mention that I did this then, by the way, I did this, Um, it all becomes part of the conversation. So I just say, practice, practice, practice, practice. And there are a few sometimes. So I got a notebook and I wrote down different questions that I thought might come up either through the mock interviews or sort of the interview practice books that I've got. And I just briefly bullet point Bullet pointed just in one sentence what I might mention and then an example that I had just two bullet points. You know, the answer the question and then my example from my, you know, the experience that I had just two lines, so it doesn't take too long, and then you can slowly work through all of the questions that might come up, and then you've got something to refer to. You can quickly look through that and think Oh, okay. That question. I can mention this, and I can mention this. So that was how I prepared to be on channel. I found it really useful. Yeah, I cannot. I cannot agree. More practices. So, so, so important. Uh, and you don't want to go into the interview being, uh, being there and sort of have This is your first time answering those questions? Otherwise, you you'll be thinking, or what you'll be thinking as well as speaking, which it doesn't look good. Um uh, but but don't. But don't overdo it as you like. Don't write a paragraph out and just memorize the paragraph for each question, because that will make you look, um, sounds. Sounds like you made a lot of preparation and that definitely not looking for those. Um, like the ablation said, drop down a few bullet points. That you want to talk about, Uh and and it's always nice to link back to what you have done yourself as well. So say, like, you know, you order to say that you're interested in research. So what have you done in research? You can talk about your experience in students in active component or things that you've done outside of the curriculum to show. Show that you're interested. You want to have some evidence with you that to back up your points? Um, so So, yeah, for the critical appraisal interview really recommend reading, some going through. Maybe you had some lectures on statistics or going to the library book to to sort of get a basic understanding, at least of the different definitions of the common things. Like pee values, relative risk, uh, things like, uh, randomized controlled trial. How do they randomize it? What are the different types of bias is how how you look for them in a in the paper and just go through abstracts with your friends in med school, or or staff's in med school if they're if they're willing to, and it just helps, just just go through papers, go through abstracts uh, with with different people helps you with that critical appraisal association. So, so much, uh, in terms of personal and academic interview. So you really want to sort of remember, if you've written things in the white space questions? They sometimes come up as well. So you know what you've written for those, uh, be prepared to back yourself up in terms of what you've done over the last couple of years, in medical school or even before, after medical school, Um, and yeah, and and and for the clinical scenario, one doctor said So just go through the the last chapter of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine that that will be more than enough. Uh, for that station. Sorry, I'm pressing the wrong button. I was just going to say definitely, I'd agree. Definitely your risk of over prepared. I know it sounds, you know, it's easier said at one point you were saying prepare and then the next moment we're saying you might over prepared, but there is definitely the risk of sounding a bit like a robot. And when I was preparing, I was wary of over practicing to the point where I'm asked a question and I think I know what they're asking. But actually, I've not listened to the question and I'm actually answering a pre prepared answer that actually isn't isn't looking at what they've just asked. And there is your, uh when you start practicing, you'll start recognizing when you start going into an answer and you start churning out something that you've said before and then you're like, Oh, wait, I don't even know this is what the question is. If this was what the question was, So the reason we were saying to just briefly have to think about examples and what the answer is is just sort of prevent you from then going into a pre written feel that you just turned off by heart because in the end that you can tell. I think when this is sort of a just an answer that you've written down and you're reading off compared to you know, I'm responding to what you're actually saying. This is a conversation, and the other point I was going to say was the book that I found really useful for him to be practice was I just got the name here, so medical interviews Third edition, and it's got a picture of the thinking man on it like this. So look that if you can get a hold of that book, it says it's for higher trainees. But I think the principles that it describes in it are really useful. And so it it tells you how to structure a question and answer. So it's, you know, it goes through. What we've already mentioned before is, um so my answer to the question, an example of the question and then bring it right back at the end, too. How is this applicable to what I'm applying for? So don't just answer the question and answer the question. Bring in an example, if you can, to show off whatever you've done, because I'm sure you've all done really great things. Show it off and then round it off by bringing it back to Oh, but also this was a great experience for AFP because I learned this this and this and I'll be able to translate these skills to a F p r E s P. Now, um and this will make me a better clinician by blah, blah, blah, blah and the book is really good at breaking down each of the questions that you may get and giving you an example of how to answer that question. So if if you have a chance, look up that book. So I promise I'm not a promoter. I don't have any shares in this book, but it's called one second. It's called medical interviews Third Edition. But the first author that I can see it's all of Olivia Picard so that that was my, you know, really helpful book. And I just I didn't read all of it, just sort of skimming through, Um but yeah, if you have a chance, have a look at that, If anything, just for how to structure your answers. Yeah, Doctor, Um, I have a really good point is always answer the question. And if you're not sure what they're asking ask ask the interview to repeat what the question is, uh, because you really want to, um, answer. Answer the question. If if you think talking about things that are not related to the question doesn't look really good, um, just just the other other couple. A couple of points, Um, it is at the end of the interview. So, uh, address something presentable. Um, like you're going for an Oscar or something. Um, no matter whether it's a virtual or face to face, I don't know which it will be this year, but always dress, uh, dresses like Starsky Smart. As if you're going for an Oscar examination. Um, and, uh, yeah, um, be prepared. It is natural to be anxious to worry about the interview, but you don't You don't really want to show that in the interview. Once you once you get through a couple of questions and once you get through the first couple of minutes, you'll be fine. Just be yourself. And and And that's what they want to see as well, to to be yourself and and learn about the great things that you've done over the last couple of years. Um, so in terms of the logistics of interviews, So as we as we mentioned, we're still not quite sure how that will be this year. Whether it would be virtually or whether we face to face, if it's virtual is most likely will be on Zoom or Microsoft teams. It was face to face, and usually you have to go to that specific scenery. Have a specific location. Could be a medical school. It could be a nearby hospital. Um, and and they'll give you a specific time and date for that in terms of invitation to interview, Uh, they some some would do through Oriole system, and they will notify you on there. Some will send you a direct email, Uh, and and for some generate, you will have to book an interview, a slot. So look at your schedules where it is best. Uh, so if you can try to sort of manage it and I don't have any things around that period if you if you've got placements that you can arrange leave, I'd suggest sort of leave that they completely off if you can. Um and and I think after the interview, the I think the first round of offers come out in around January time. Uh, January 2022. There will be, I think, three rounds of office. So, for example, I think some people may not accept and and sfp offer, uh, in the first round. In that case, that will go to the second round and and you you get you get an offer. So you always be notified whether you will you have got an offer or not? Uh, and and I think I'm not sure whether they're still doing this. But once you get an offer, you have to accept it within 48 hours. Otherwise, you, uh, automatically defaulted you back to the normal foundation program. And and so we'll divert you to think that you're rejecting that off. So? So don't forget about that as well. Anything else? You want to answer that? Um, no, I've not really got anything else to add to that. My interview process, I think, was quite different to what you will be having now, because of the fact that, you know, mine was So it's all face to face. I think if you any of you do have a face to face Now, I made sure it's just all you know, logistical things. I made sure I got their super early because trains are unreliable. Got there really early. So I knew they made sure I had enough data on my phone so that I could find where I was meant to be going to up from the train station. All those sorts of things and yet, you know, dress dressed appropriately, Just, you know, like you said, things that you wear to, you're asking nothing. You know, it's all common sense stuff, really. But I think probably what you said is more applicable at this stage because of of it and everything being online at the moment. So I've not got anything else that that really so So, um, I think with I've believe that this power point with a couple of other doctors and we just have a very quick sides and then we'll open up to the front to ask any questions. So I don't know whether you've heard about this before, but there's this framework, which which you can use to answer certain questions, can frame work. As you can see, it's a clinical, academic, management and personal. So this is more applicable to the personal interview, where they want you to ask about what you've done, uh, over the past couple of years of medical school, what you've done in terms of clinical on the clinical side, on the academic side of the management side, on a personal side, Uh, and you want to have a little bit of everything in in each section. Um, it doesn't matter if you don't have maybe don't have too much academic things that they're not looking for, uh, medical students who have 10 publications or so even if you don't have any publications. If you've If you've done things like all that skill wise, if you have done your students elective components, uh, those those will be valid as well. But But what? It what it helps is sort of helps to sort of show you as an all rounded person can do. A bit of everything. Uh, that's that's what they're mostly looking for. When you're talking about any particular experience opportunity, you may have heard about this star approach, the situation task action result reflection. You want to go through what happened in the situation? Uh, I asked about what was the key thing that you want to get across. You want to achieve that specific things action actions that you made several research of your teaching or you've you've you've contributed something in clinic in your placements and and then the result. What? What was the outcome of your actions? What did you accomplish? What did you learn. And reflection is also important that you, um a lot of the time being a reflective practitioner is what they're looking for as well. So what did you learn from the whole situation? What could you do differently in this situation? Or how? How would that change? Change your practice in the future. For example, how would you improve or change your your skills or performance? Things like that. Um, this is, uh, sometimes, uh, applicable if they're giving you a some sort of difficult scenario, Uh, in in the clinical scenario situation where, for example, patients waiting to self discharge. Um, what would you do? Um Or, uh, colleague is not sharing. Well, what would you do so similar to the S J T type questions and how how you want to approach this is, um is the spice framework So seeking information? What's happening? Uh, what's going on? How that happened, why it happened, Those kinds of things and you always want to keep patients safety. Mine's always prioritized patient safety. Uh, that again shows shows them that you're safe. Practitioner safe doctor initiative. What will you do initially, For example, if it's, uh, a scenario where you've been asked to see a patient always go for the A B C D. Approach, uh, escalate. When would you escalate this to your senior? So, uh, as well as being a competent doctor, they also want you to recognize that there are certain limitations in your knowledge and your competency. You, you're you're just starting out as an F one. There will be things that you have not done before. There'll be things that other seniors will be more appropriate to to deal with. Um, senior support is something that if you said I would call for seniors, it shows that you know that there is a senior support and you recognize your home limitations and don't work beyond your competency. And that again shows that you're safe, doctor and, uh, and and finally support support from the senior support from the fellow colleague um, support from anyone. And always keep in mind the four pillars of medical ethics. So the beneficence, non magnificence justice and autonomy. So sometimes you'll get ethical scenarios as well. So those will be come in handy. Um, as we talked about before, try to keep the answers to the point. If you don't understand what the question is referring to. Always ask them to repeat again. Back them up with your evidence, your opportunity to experience. And then finally, like the auditions how this would help you to become a successful SFP doctor. Uh, so things like they like to ask about this time management how you manage between clinical and pathetic work. How would you cope under pressure? Uh, so So this is this does not only apply to sfp doctors, this is N E F Y. Doctors will, Will will have pressures because the NHS is currently under a lot of pressure. And, uh, and there will be days where we're so busy that you have no time to rest and have breaks, but, um and yeah, practice, reference, practice, practice, practice previous Africans or just by yourself, just by itself going through a different, uh, it to you. Just talk through it yourself. Talk to a mirror, record yourself, and you will be amazed how much you you can learn from those experiences. And okay. And you'll see. Okay, I missed this. Remember that will do it next time. Uh, so we've mentioned this before for the clinical scenario stations. You know, I think you are very familiar with this book. Also, the samples of the medicine. Uh, the last chapter of this book is the emergency situations. So go to the scenario for Sinus and chest pain, abdominal pain, acute appen and nausea. Vomiting, uh, reflexes. How? How you would what Singapore features are there. How would you initially manage them and things like that? Uh, and again, just to stress again, they won't ask you a very bizarre things. That would be something that you definitely would have seen on placements during the medical school years. Yeah, so always follow the A B C D. Approach. Um, you would all be I'm sure you are all very good at this. Treated problems. You encounter them. Um, there's a reason why it's arranged that way. A B C D. Rather than maybe C d e b A or something like that, um, And try to return back to China's intervention. So, for example, if you think briefing assessment initially you would ask for example, uh, what is the respiratory rate is the oxygen saturation. So if they have low oxygen saturation and decided to give them oxygen 50 m lying on the Flomax, for example, At the end of your briefing assessment, Always ask. Okay, so I want to recheck the oxygen saturation And what is the respiratory right now and then know whether the intervention has worked or not, If not, act on it. If yes, then you're okay to move onto the next part of your management. Um, if you suspect a problem early on, you would still follow the 80 assessment. So, for example, uh, if you if the airway, uh, for example, if you, for example, breathing you found that there's some hyper resident in in one of the one of the chest, one side of the chest wall you're thinking Okay, maybe this could be pneumothorax, but But you all you want to sort of follow through to complete the whole A B C D. Assessment very quickly. Um, you can say things like, Okay, I suspect that this may be a pneumothorax. Uh, I've given oxygen. I've taken a BG or the chest X ray that will complete my A to the assessment that to confirm that I'm not missing anything else. Um, they won't. They won't be that if they won't put the triggers and they won't be. I don't think there will be two clinical problems that they will ask you to treat. It is usually one scenario, one clinical problem. Uh, but you never know, uh, so always always go through a to eat before, so yeah, prioritize and then escalate. So as a as a doctor, you want to able to prioritize things. So I've heard of some some interviewees given maybe two or three scenarios at at the start of interview and and asked and being asked, Which patients would you see first? That's that's That's a very tricky question. Actually, um, things that you could go by is looking at the news to school, which is a very useful to you. Very quickly screen through your differential diagnosis this for each patient and and sort of how how urgent your management would be. Um, so just an example. A patient with chest pain uh, sweatiness, um so location and another patient who may be having, um uh, scoring, scoring to or something with low BP. Um, so you would probably prioritize the chest pain patients first because you suspect a. C s. And that needs more urgent treatment than, for example, POSTOP patients. Who company has hypertension delegates. You can always ask for help. Ask the nurses to do things asked for. Ask your other colleagues. Uh, escalate the scenario, uh, sort of requires you to, uh, so going back to a critical appraisal stations. Uh, key points to address. So things when you're summarizing paper. Um, uh, sometimes people will talk to you about this PICO framework. So population, intersection, cultural outcomes This is more of an applicable to randomized controlled trial. So what's the population is what What people did they recruit is that Children that they're looking at is the adults that are looking at Is the COPD patients? Is that patients with my or is that patients with high blood, high BP? What is the intervention? Is it a new treatment versus old treatment, or is it a treatment versus placebo? Uh, and then control. How What is the control control group compared to the treatment group and what's welcome? So that's one framework that you can use to help you summarize, um, randomized control. Trans validity. You can. You can read about this bit more in a long time. So there's two types of validity. Internal and external. Uh, we won't go through that too much. You know, I'm a bit aware of the time at the moment, but yeah, validity is something that you can ask you. So. So medical ethics. We've we've mentioned before? Uh, no. About the prison of, um, level of evidence. So the systematic review meta analysis has the greatest amount of the greatest power or the the standard research things that that has greater power and influence. Compared to, for example, randomized trial or cohort. City case controlled study a series. So no, no. Which one of them are and yeah, I know about this as well. No, no. A little bit about pros and cons of each different ones. Common biases of each. Um, yeah. They'll read about them because they can. They can come up with as well. Uh, yeah, I talked before. Some some some interviewers will ask you about, uh, definitions. So common terms of p value confidence in the relative risk types of buyers. Errors come and things like that. So all of these Yeah. You want to prepare for, um So these are some Some books that a couple of PAS MPs have suggested. So just a handful of medicines mentioned medical interviews. I think this is the one that region suggesting. Is this the one? Yeah. That one. Yeah. How to read the paper. That's more for the statistics part more political pressure, medical statistics and glanced at a glance, um, of seriousness quite useful as well. Check out your dinners, Web page and person specification. Uh, but they can be quite general at some point. Um, attend general clubs if you if you if you can. So those those can help. You have to improve your critical place of skills, too, so
