Welcome to Higher Anaesthetics Interviews
Helping you approach your ST4 Anaesthetics interview with structure, clarity, and confidence — guided by anaesthetic consultants and senior anaesthetic registrars with a shared passion for medical education and interview coaching.

About Us

We are a team of consultants and senior registrars who have been running interview preparation courses since 2022. We were the first course designed specifically for the new ST4 entry point, and since then, we have helped both UK trained doctors and international medical graduates succeed in their anaesthetics interviews.

Our courses are built on first-hand experience and a genuine commitment to your success. We consistently receive excellent feedback for our supportive environment, personalised feedback, and clear, structured approach to preparation:

“The course helped me gain clarity, structure, and a plan to approach the interview.”
“Excellent assessors, great personalised advice — brilliant to get specific guidance on how to prepare.”
“Honestly a superb course. Extremely well organised and all the speakers were fantastic.”
“As an IMG, I found it extremely useful — it helped me articulate my answers concisely and focus on what matters.”

Our Ethos

We believe interview success comes from clarity, confidence, and practice. Our goal is simple: to help you perform at your best when it matters most.

We listen closely to feedback on how we can improve. Suggestions such as enhancing logistics, communication, and feedback consistency, have directly shaped how we continue to refine our sessions each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there funding available to attend the course?
Doctors in training should follow the discretionary leave guidance available from their respective School of Anaesthesia. Doctors who are not in a training post have previously been successful in obtaining departmental funding through local arrangements.
Are the lectures recorded or available to view at a later time?
As this is a face-to-face course, lectures are not recorded for later viewing. Course delegates are encouraged to make their own notes on the day.
I would like to attend the 2-day course but I need to leave earlier on one of the days.
The first day is a day of talks and candidates are able to leave earlier if needed. The second day features personalised mock interview and small group discussions. If you need to leave early on day 2, please email us so you can be placed in a group doing the mock interview earlier in the day and you do not miss out on interview practice.
What is your cancellation policy? Can I change ticket type?
We cannot accept cancellations within 6 weeks of the course date. Refunds may be subject to an admin fee. Ticket type change from the 2-day Flagship Course to the 1-day Fundamentals Course is not allowed. Please double check your ticket type before making payment.
