If your application is successful, the employer will invite you for an interview. Different institutions have different approaches. You may have a traditional interview with a panel made up of admissions team member/s and relevant professionals from the University. Or you could have a mini multiple interview (MMI), which consists of several question stations, each with a different focus. Your interview could be:
face to face
with a panel
over the phone
online – for example, on Skype or Zoom
In common with all health professions, podiatry requires a range of core skills, for example:
Excellent people and communication skills. Listening as well as talking
The ability to form good working relationships with clients of all ages and backgrounds. This might involve empathy as well as the ability to motivate people
Creative and adaptable, with the ability to create tailored programmes for individuals and to work in groups
Good teamworking skills and the ability to work alone
You can also expect to be questioned on the NHS and it’s values, your work experience/work shadowing, and your knowledge of the relevant profession and your commitment to it.
