79 original MMI and panel questions. Answer one out loud against the clock, then see what a strong answer covers.
Ethics·MMI station: 2 min to plan, 6 to answer
A patient with epilepsy is still driving after being told by his doctor to stop. He refuses to tell the DVLA. What should the doctor do?
What a strong answer covers
Explain the risk and his legal duty to tell the DVLA, and try again to persuade him
If he keeps driving, GMC guidance says the doctor should promptly tell the DVLA's medical adviser, ideally telling him first and writing to him afterwards
Confidentiality matters, but the public interest in preventing serious harm can outweigh it
Follow-up: What if he says he will lose his job and his home?
Practise a whole station. A running clock, follow-ups that change the situation and feedback on your own words.
Every question is original: schools do not publish their own. Topics follow what UK schools say they assess: motivation, communication, teamwork, ethics and judgement. Facts in the answer notes were checked against the sources below on 4 October 2026, and again by an independent reviewer.
The clock gives a panel question 30 seconds to think and 2 minutes to answer, and a station 2 minutes to plan and 6 to answer. Schools set their own timings: find your school's format.
What do medicine interviews ask about?
Why you want to do medicine, what you learned from work experience, teamwork, ethics, the NHS, and how you communicate. MMIs add role plays and data stations.
What is an MMI?
A multiple mini interview: a circuit of short stations, each with its own interviewer and task. Most UK medical schools use MMIs; some use panel interviews.
How should I practise?
Out loud and timed. Answer first, then compare with what a strong answer covers, and try the follow-up. Recording yourself helps.
Are these the real questions?
No. Schools do not publish their questions. These are original questions on the topics they assess.
