Background:
I will be sharing podcast links that I believe will be useful for the IMT interview in at least a bi-weekly basis until the interview.
How to make best of this series:
- Listen to the podcast + use other materials I share.
- Revise the relevant topics from Medibuddy, Optimise, the Oxford Handbook or whichever resource you prefer.
- Practise a scenario based on that topic with a study partner. If you find it difficult to create scenarios, ask ChatGPT to generate one for you.

- You should know what a ‘Major haemorrhage Call’ (similar to cardiac arrest call/medical emergency call/ Peri-arrest call) is. Please learn about the local major haemorrhage protocol of your hospital. For example, this is one I found online: https://www.nnuh.nhs.uk/publication/download/major-haemorrhage-in-adults-v6 (Check page 4)
