2. Teamwork – Tell us about a time you worked through a difficult team situation.
3. Leadership & change – How have you led or contributed to improving a service?
4. Governance & patient safety – How would you respond to a patient-safety concern?
5. Equality, diversity & health equity – How can emergency departments address health inequalities?
