Sure I think I might be able to be of some use. Congrats on clearly doing something right!

Unfortunately with Kings, and a lot of other high application rate unis don't give much notice at all, especially EMDP.

Anyway, for ethics/roleplay:

•

Use a simple structure: identify the issue → consider both sides → prioritise patient safety, autonomy, beneficence → explain your reasoning calmly :smile:

•

If u get stuck, say what you would do next (seek senior advice, clarify information, communicate with the patient). That’s not a weakness, it’s quite realistic actually.

•

They care more about communication and judgement than flashy answers is what I've been told.

For 'why med?':

•

Keep it personal but grounded. Motivation + insight into realities of the job.

•

Mention teamwork, responsibility, dealing with uncertainty, not just “helping people”.

And finally, prep smart, keep calm!
Do a few ethics scenarios, yk like confidentiality, consent, prioritization etc.
Practise speaking out loud, even alone. It matters a whole lot more than reading notes.
Oh and please do sleep. Like seriously.

Also, thats hella rough being amongst mocks week as well, but I'm sure loads of people have been in the same position and survived.

Stay thoughtful, safe, oh and human!

I'm confident you've got this!
