All the info you need to recite like a sheep for medicines management is in the Spoonful of Sugar document. (here:
http://www.audit-commission.gov.uk/r...-F80954A80F85). This document was from 2001, but basically summarises medicines management happening within UK hospitals. Like a lot of the best laid pharmacy plans, much of this document in reality didn't come into fruition. Don't say that in your interview though - many hospitals like to pretend they have an efficient meds management policy.
Clinical governance - for my interview I just learnt the definition somewhere along the lines of ''Clinical governance consists of a series of processes for improving quality and ensuring that professionals are accountable for their practice. These processes have been identified as continuing professional development, evidence-based practice, audit, dealing with poor performance, managing risk, monitoring clinical care and patient involvement.'' You'll find lots of wordy definitions for clinical governance but the basic principle is just ''be good, make sure your knowledge is up to date.'' It's that simple really.
Basically most hospital pre-reg interviewers are looking more for someone who's going to get on well with the rest of the department. So, just make sure you act nice and have a good basic knowledge of the above and your should be ok.
