This podcast is about becoming — and being — an NHS consultant . It explores the consultant interview process in detail: how panels are structured, what different panel members are listening for, and how credibility is judged in real time. Not rehearsed answers, but the thinking behind the questions. Beyond the interview, the series looks at life after appointment — the transition from senior trainee to consultant, the realities of responsibility, leadership, governance, and professional identity. What changes on day one. What surprises people later. And what no one tells you while you’re preparing. Conversations draw on real experience from NHS consultant life: interviews, job planning, trust values, working with managers and non-executives, and navigating the early years after appointment. This podcast is for senior trainees preparing for consultant roles, and for new consultants who want a clearer view of the landscape they’ve just entered.</p
