If you are called for an interview, then it is likely that you will be asked to give a presentation as well.
You need to prepare for your presentation as well as your consultant NHS interview
Here are some tips to help you train for your interview presentations
 |
display titles are supplied to shortlisted candidates with the interview invitation details. It is usually best to prepare a powerpoint presentation. |
|
Expect to deliver your display to a bigger group than will be at your interview. You probably won’t know who will be at the display until you get there. |
|
You may be given between 3-15 minutes for your talk. |
|
Keep the tone light and general, but ensure that you keep to the timings. |
|
Practice in front of an audience in advance, even if only an audience of one. You have 100% control of your image management at this stage and you must take that control. |
|
If the talk is in an organisation where you have previously been employed in or where you are well-known, you are likely to feel more nervous than in an hospital where most of the audience is unknown. Realise this in advance and practice the talk. |
|
Do not make assumptions about what the audience knows ” present as if you and the audience have little knowledge about each other, and assume some of the audience (eg Lay Chair, Faculty representative) have no or little knowledge of the department/ area about which you are talking. |
