Hi,

While I'm not a dental therapy student myself, l'd recommend preparing by reviewing why you want to study the course, why that university, NHS values andGDC standards, as these often come up either directly or through scenario-based questions.

For a group interview, they usually look at communication, teamwork, and professionalism. Make sure you listen to others and contribute respectfully. Ethical or scenario-based questions are common, so think about patient safety, consent, confidentiality, and acting within your scope of practice.

It also helps to reflect on any relevant experience or transferable skills you have, such as working with people, communication, time management, or handling responsibility. Showing empathy, self-awareness, and a genuine interest in patient care goes a long way.

Hope this helps, good luck to all with interviews!
