### What can I expect?

Take a look at our [preparation handbook](https://belong.ncl.ac.uk/hubfs/Interview%20information%20for%20Medicine%20applicants%202026.pdf?hsLang=en-gb) to help you understand what to expect on the day of your interview. This explains the different areas and key skills which you will be asked about by our selectors. 

The Medical Schools Council have pulled together some very useful [information](https://studyinghealthcare.ac.uk/interviews/) and [resources](https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.medschools.ac.uk%2Fstudying-medicine%2Finterviews%23%3A~%3Atext%3DThe%2520Interview%2520Prep%2520website%2520takes%2Chave%2520access%2520to%2520practice%2520sessions&data=05%7C02%7CKatie.Cumming%40newcastle.ac.uk%7Cc23fc30d59e14c21be3208dd33b877b8%7C9c5012c9b61644c2a91766814fbe3e87%7C1%7C0%7C638723589542972452%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Q2SKKQXVezR8vKptKg8grqAM6gFEzLA3SePjD9B6YIs%3D&reserved=0) which we recommend you look at.
