In general, questions directly addressing Gillick Competence are rare. The concept of Gillick Competence is, however, a useful tool to demonstrate to interviewers that you are aware of issues surrounding consent. Therefore, to answer questions involving consent, the principles of medical ethics must once again be used to build a strong and balanced argument. Taking the example above about the pregnant 13-year-old, it would be important to show a clear understanding that there are arguments for and against using the Gillick test, but in this situation, this is the best course of action in order to maintain confidentiality. This ties in with patient autonomy, as, if the she passes the Gillick test, then she is considered competent enough to have autonomy over her treatment. The factors of beneficence and non-maleficence must also be considered, however, as if the girl comes from a highly orthodox family, then this may not be tolerated and the outcomes may be worse by informing the parents. In this way, different principles must be considered and then used to structure a coherent answer.
