Hi there,
I know you weren't asking me but thought I could be of some help here! I'm Megan, currently a 3rd year medical student at the University of Leicester so I did my interview a couple of years ago now but may have a few useful tips.
The way I developed my knowledge for my interviews was to create 'information cards' for each main topic and key bullet points for each. I did this using Google Slides but you can use any software or paper if you prefer! I created cards like this for the following topics: NHS hot topics (e.g aging population), NHS vs private healthcare, case studies (e.g Charlie Gard, Dr Bawa Garba etc), COVID pandemic, organ donation, abortion, euthanasia and ethics. I also created similar cards with points about my suitability to medicine with topics such as motivation for medicine, teamwork, empathy, leadership, greatest strength, greatest weakness, communication, failures and mistakes. I wrote these using the STARR format (Situation, Task, Action, Results, Reflection) which is recommended when using personal experience to demonstrate a particular skill. The reflection part is especially important as a lot of your career as a doctor will involve personal reflections. I kept these cards to short bullet points because I wanted to make sure I had something to say with any questions they asked but I didn’t want it to sound rehearsed. I found it useful to have a bank of my personal experiences in my mind so when they asked a question about e.g a time I showed resilience, I had anecdotes on hand to talk about. I also made sure I tailored my approach specifically to each universities I researched and made cards on: what each university was looking for, common/previously asked questions and why specifically I wanted to go to that university. I think I used website such as 'The Medic Portal', 'The Aspiring Medic', 'MedicMind' and 'TheUKCATPeople' and the official university website too.
Hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions I may be able to answer.

Medicine MBChB Student (3rd Year)
