“I ranked very highly and I think your question bank definitely helped. I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful site.”
“I got my top ranked post and I scored highly in all stations. I was successful at interview and the scenarios were very similar to those on the Medibuddy website. The information on Medibuddy was really useful for interview preparation.”
The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) and Health Education England (HEE) provide minimal information about the interview each year.
We know that for 2025, there will be 2 components to the interview, over 30 minutes. However, other than covering different criteria from the person specification and assessing your ‘commitment to specialty’ and ‘communication skills’, no further information is provided, making it notoriously difficult to prepare.
Now, add this to the fact that the competition ratio for ACCS Emergency Medicine in 2024 was 7.57, this is a highly competitive specialty.
If you are currently preparing for your MSRA, well done! This is one of the first steps to getting an interview. If you have completed your MSRA and been invited to interview, well done to you too! You are almost there.
So how do I prepare for my interview?
Effective preparation focuses on two areas: Knowledge and Delivery.
The Emergency Medicine interview is knowledge-intensive. If you don’t have the knowledge, it doesn’t matter how slick your delivery is, you won’t get the marks.
Equally, you might have consultant level knowledge, but if you don’t deliver it well, all those hours preparing will be for nothing!
This is your opportunity to demonstrate why you would make a good Emergency Medicine trainee.
This is where we come in…

What will I learn from the ACCS Emergency Medicine Interview Question Bank?

Occasionally they throw curve balls into the interview and ask questions you weren’t expecting. To help you prepare for this, we’ve included a number of miscellaneous topics with general advice on the best way to answer them.
Why have we done this?
When we were preparing for our specialty interviews, getting accurate and helpful advice felt near impossible. The recruitment websites only provide you with so much information, and whilst asking those who have done the interview is useful, sometimes all it did was make us more nervous, instead of actually helping us to prepare.
Since then, we have been filtering through all the good and bad resources, so you don’t have to, and our high-scoring core trainees have put it all together in one place, the Medibuddy Online ACCS Emergency Medicine Training Interview Question Bank.
