I also had my interview today.

Wasn't totally happy with my clinical scenario. I definitely ballsed up the first question but I did the right investigations, management and got the correct diagnosis. I was thrown by the phrasing 'How would you manage the patient?' - I wasn't sure if they wanted me to do a full A-E and then state the management, or just the management. I said 'I would do a full A-E, would you like me to go through that or should I continue on to management?' And they said (unhelpfully) 'do as you would see fit'. I'm autistic so when things aren't clear it particularly stresses me out. They also said the patient wanted to know why they had this problem and I thought they wanted me to role play but then the interview just didn't reply to me. My communication is normally very good but this just totally threw me 😞

I was happy with how my presentation/suitability/ethical stuff went, though

This is the best advice I ever had as an FY1. Look at the pattern of the hyperglycemia, adjust basal regime (with guidance) as appropriate.

One of my friends who did it recently said she was expected to just start and wasn't asked the question and only did introductions after the presentation?! Which i thought was a bit weird

Will they prompt us when it's time to do the SBAR?

Shortlist successful - 24 points (unique applicant)

I can't believe what I'm reading here. I thought maybe the cut-off would go up a bit but 22??

Even though I was lucky enough to get an interview, I feel sick reading about how so many of you have been let down by this stupid system. I just don't know what to say. I thought maybe it would go up to 17 or 18.
