About the role
A family physician often sees symptoms before a diagnosis is clear and supports patients over time. This interview looks for broad clinical reasoning, safe management of uncertainty, prevention and coordination across primary and specialist care.
How to prepare
- Practise structuring consultations for undifferentiated symptoms without ordering every available test.
- Review red flags, safety-netting and referral decisions across common primary care presentations.
- Prepare an example of improving control of a long-term condition through follow-up.
- Think through how you reconcile medicines and close gaps after specialist care.
- Check the official licensing body for current registration and practising requirements.
Common mistakes
- Focusing on a single disease before considering the patient's wider context.
- Using referral as the only plan without immediate care or safety-net advice.
- Overlooking continuity, prevention and reliable follow-up.
