Yeah as above - Basically all of phase 2 is made up of these clinical scenarios, which can be found here: http://gktvc1.kcl.ac.uk/vc/medical/year1/scenarios/p2scenarios.asp

Well it was probably the second hardest I had last year. They ask you about your personal statement - for example I said I was interested in the cures for coronary heart disease and they went on to ask what cures there were etc.... (had a preplanned answer).
Then they asked about the stuff in the news - One of them asked how I felt about asians marrying close relatives and the consequences of that - it was in the news at the time apparently. Then they asked me about the founder of the old peoples home I worked at - thank God I looked it up on Wikipedia out of interest the week before!
Before theinterview they give you a questionnaire - all the easy questions they dont want to ask you, because they know you have been rehearsing them for days! Stuff like why King's, why medicine, what will you contribute (societies etc). Then they give you a case study - there's a thread here somewhere about it. Make sure you have both for and against points on the scenario - no bias.

Hope that helps and also try admissions forum for some interview questions.
