Tell me about a recent occasion when you were under pressure and handled it successfully. - What was the situation? - What actions did you take? - What was the outcome? | Severe staffing shortages: worked together as a team supporting each other and prioritising workload according to clinical urgency and importance. |
What is your understanding of the Medicines Act 1968? | It is a comprehensive system that allows control of all aspects of medicine by the Independent Medicine Commission which reports to UK health officials/Licensing Authority. |
You are asked to prescribe medication which is not clearly documented within the patients notes and medical record. What should you do? | You should enquire and ascertain the appropriateness and validity of the request for the patient. It is important in clinical practice to establish a medically approved treatment plan for a patient. Where there is a lack of clarity further advice must be sought from an appropriate clinician. |
What steps would you take, going forward if you become aware of an incident or complaint, which you were involved or implicated in? | I would seek to obtain accurate information on the matter and then seek to bring about an investigation and resolution to the matter.
