Medical ethics in interviews

Can anyone recommend a book/resource which has helped you tackle these sort of questions at interviews? I am thinking of buying this book, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Interviews-Questions-Analysed-Includes-Multiple-Mini-Interviews/dp/1905812051, and would like to know if it helped any of you in your interview

I've not got to the interview stage and I can't really comment on the specific book you mentioned but I did really like the 'A short introduction to medical ethics' book. I used it while doing GAMSAT prep and found it really interesting. It's a pretty thin book so didn't take too long to read and it was pretty cheap - look at the ebooks available at your local library, they might have it.

This is a very good book for interview practice, not just for ethics, so I recommend it. It has some discussion around ethics etc. that is useful in its own right, for a broader overview (but not that broad, takes about 20 mins to read) check out this book as mentioned before: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Medical-Ethics-Short-Introduction-Introductions/dp/0192802828/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404715955&sr=1-1&keywords=ethics+a+short+introduction
I found the book you mentioned really helpful. It walks you through the common scenarios.
