This is a great question, there are a few things you need to consider for your MMI:Presentation is key, make sure you're dressed smartly and your well groomed. You want to give a professional impression from the moment you walk through the door.A small amount of knowledge about medical ethics and law can be really useful to show-off during discussions. Some key ideas you could explore are Gillick competence (which is used to decide if a person under 16 can consent to treatment without their parent's involvement) and some knowledge of confidentiality in medicine. I could expand on all these points in our sessions.Some knowledge of the structure of the NHS can be great to show you've researched the career aspect that follows medical school. You should know about clinical commissioning groups which are responsible for planning and commissioning of all healthcare in a local area. You should also know about the care quality commission which is an independent regulator that ensures the NHS provides care that is up to standard.Remember the key thing about interviews is to show yourself off. Anytime you make a claim that you have a certain skill or quality, use an example from your volunteering, work experience, school or previous employment to show when you've utilised that skill.Knowledge of specific medical conditions shouldn't be necessary, but knowing all your A-level knowledge (especially biology and chemistry) is important.
