About the role
This interview examines how you detect, investigate and reduce healthcare-associated infection across a working hospital. The panel is looking for analytical discipline, practical controls and the influence to change behaviour when clinical and operational pressures compete.
How to prepare
- Review case definitions, basic surveillance measures and the steps of an outbreak investigation.
- Prepare an example where you checked data quality before recommending action.
- Think through infection controls for unreliable water, crowded wards and limited isolation space.
- Practise explaining how observation, feedback and local ownership can change staff behaviour.
- Check the official Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria site for current licence and professional requirements.
Common mistakes
- Calling a cluster an outbreak without checking definitions, timing and data quality.
- Relying on one-off training without observing whether practice changes.
- Recommending controls that cannot be sustained in the actual clinical setting.
