First of all I hope you already know what MMI interviews are, how they are be structured, and which universities you are applying to have this system. Through MMI, the interviewers are looking to see if you have the resilience and capability to be a medical practitioner with the right mindset. As MMI will be slightly different for each university, it's important to research more about each one and see what information you can find. Lots of people are likely to want to help you if you just ask. Secondly, review your personal statement and make sure you have more to add and expand on aside from the information you have already included. For example, if you have mentioned work experience in a care home and stated that it exposed you to healthcare environment and interacting with people, reflect more specifically in what ways the experience has allowed you to do so, and how has that made you want to continue to pursue a career in medicine more? Thirdly, make sure you know and can recall the basics of medical ethics and qualities of being a good doctor. If you can expand on each point then even more brilliant. Last but not least, make sure you are are in the loop with what's happening currently within the NHS. There is so so much going on that you won't possibly have the time and an opinion on everything but a tip is to always go back to your ethics and basic principles of being a doctor. And finally, remember that they are only 8 minutes, you just need to practice to be more confident and you will ace that interview! If you speak to people on a regular basis, you will have communication skills and that's all the interviewers want to see at this stage, that you can polite and courteous to you future patients.
