The Emergency Medicine ST4 interview is a key step in the recruitment process, designed to test both your expertise and your ability to communicate it effectively. You’ll be assessed across clinical and ethical decision-making, prioritisation, and communication, making these the core areas to focus on during preparation.
Effective preparation focuses on two areas: Knowledge and Delivery.
The interview requires applicants to combine strong clinical understanding with clear, structured answers.
Having the right knowledge but struggling to explain it won’t score highly, while confident delivery without accurate content won’t be enough either.
This is your opportunity to show both your expertise and your motivation for a career in Emergency Medicine.
This is where we come in…

Our Question Bank contains 20 tailored scenarios that mirror the real interview format, giving you a structured way to practise.
Each year, the content is updated by high-scoring doctors who have successfully secured Emergency Medicine training posts, so you can be confident it reflects the latest expectations. The platform is accessible any time, letting you fit focused preparation around your schedule and build confidence for the day.
The interview is made up of three stations, each testing different aspects of your skillset. Our scenarios are designed to mirror these topics and help you prepare effectively:
Get familiar with the format and learn how to approach each station.
Work through situations that assess your ability to stay organised and think clearly under pressure.
Tackle scenarios that test how you manage competing clinical and ethical demands.
Demonstrate how you would explain, support, and collaborate with patients, families, and colleagues.
When preparing for our own Emergency Medicine ST4 interviews, we struggled to find clear and practical advice. Official resources were limited, and peer tips often added confusion instead of clarity.
