Please Help!!!

I have worked for my current firm for a number of years, and feel the time has come to move on.

I would love the job as Emergency Medical Dispatcher (999 call taker) which I have recently applied for. I have passed the selection tests etc but I have now got to face a panel interview as the final process of the interview. I have not been interviewed for the past decade now so I am well out of practice!!!!

Can anyone in NHS field give me any advice at all? What to say or what not to say etc. Or are there any EMD's out there who could give me some advice please?

I have waited a long time to be able to apply for this job (having waited for my children to grow up) and I feel I now have the time and commitment to be able to persue this career and I don't want to mes my opportunity up due to my lack of interview skills.

Any help I would really appreciate.
Thanks in advance
