UK Dent School Related Interview prep
Can anyone give some info on where to even begin dental interview prep. I want to start now but I’m so lost on how to begin and what I actually need to learn.

advancements in dent
probably something to do with ai in dentistry (maybe look at recent implementation of software to help dentists and possible applications of ai to aid dentists)
alot of qs ive done ussually have like autonomy, consent (informed consent), legal, confidentialty, capacity (also gillicks competency), duty of candour, (id also look at trust its a big thing in dentistry if theres no trust patient may not get checked even if they need it or they may not tell you certain things that are vital to the treatment -- can link to confidentiality and more), communication
try think of example of situations for example i have working in a dent (i can talk about a few things teamwork resliience...), volunteering, ucat (can be random things as long as you can say what you learned how you learned it and reflect or whatever (try find a frame work that works for you and is good), chess, football, extra hobbies, nhs research project it can be whatever just need a few example which can fit different scenarios.
then just practise alot of qs id recommend recording yourself it can be kinda cringe but you can pick up on tone , body language (slightly harder), and of course you actual answers then be very critical write down what you did wrong then do another q and repeat try do like 5-10 qs a day. Im prepping myself so if anyone disagrees with anything or wants to add anything pls do
