Q1. Why do you want to work for the NHS Band 6?/Tell us why you have applied for this job?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I want to spend my working life making a difference in the world. I am a great admirer of the National Health Service, and I cannot think of a more worthwhile organisation to devote my career to. I know I am not alone when I say that I have witnessed first-hand the tireless efforts and exemplary care you provide at no cost. It would be an honour and a joy to work for an organisation that must continuously alter, adapt, and respond to external forces while still inspiring and growing its employees. In regards to this Band 6 role, I am very aware of the elevated degree of responsibility that comes along with a Band 6 position. Nevertheless, I am eager to take on further responsibility, and I am confident in my capacity to handle these responsibilities given the years I have spent working toward this objective, as well as the knowledge, experience, and interpersonal and clinical abilities I have honed throughout my career with the NHS.I have a wealth of experience in caring for patients and assisting co-workers with their own professional growth. I am a proactive and organised worker who can maintain a high standard of service despite a large volume of patients. I feel this role will be a perfect match to utilise my communication and leadership skills further. I will lead by example in committing to the success and advancement of my field at this NHS Trust. In this Band 6 role, I will do my utmost to uphold the NHS’s values and high standards while making full use of my many capabilities in my interactions with patients and co-workers.”
Q2. Describe a time when a patient’s family was dissatisfied with the care or treatment you provided. How did you respond to the criticism?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“In my previous role overseeing the care provided on a geriatric ward, a concern was brought to me by one of my patient’s children. She was dissatisfied with the number of visits I made to her elderly mother and believed I should have been monitoring her progress more regularly. I listened carefully to her concern and understood that her complaint was motivated by her concern for her mother. I handled the matter sensitively, ensuring I fully addressed her concern to the best of my ability. I explained that whilst her mother was primarily in my care, I had instructed other equally capable colleagues to monitor her throughout the day. She understood and explained that she was unaware of this and apologised for the misunderstanding. This experience further taught me the value of effective and open communication between healthcare professionals and patients’ loved ones.”
