Interview Skills for SMOs

Are you applying for a Staff Specialist or SMO role in 2026? Or looking to move hospitals, step into leadership, or secure a more flexible position?

This free webinar is designed specifically for senior doctors who want to communicate clearly, demonstrate impact, and approach interviews with confidence.

After years of coaching experienced specialists, I’ve seen how even highly capable doctors can struggle to articulate their value in a structured panel setting. This session will show you how to change that.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• what selection panels are really assessing at SMO level
• how to present your experience strategically, not just chronologically
• how to speak about leadership, governance, mentoring and service improvement with clarity
• the subtle mistakes senior doctors make that weaken their impact
• practical ways to prepare so you feel calm, focused and in control

There’ll be time for live Q&A, so you can ask about your specific situation.

Whether you’re aiming for progression, stability, or a new professional challenge, this session will support your professional development and help you present as the strong, experienced candidate you are. Replay available for all who register.
