21 NHS Band 8A
Here’s the FULL LIST of NHS BAND 8A INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Tell me about yourself and why you want this Band 8A position?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this Band 8A role today. I fully understand the high level of responsibility that comes with a Band 8 job. However, I am assured in my ability to manage these obligations, and I am equipped with the years of experience I have spent working toward this goal and the expertise, interpersonal, and managerial skills I have acquired along the way. I have an extensive background in providing care to patients, as well as in clinical practice, supervision, leadership, inspecting, mentoring, and supporting colleagues in their own professional development. I am an independent worker who can handle a heavy patient load without compromising the high-quality care I provide to my patients. I am committed to the growth and development of my discipline, and I will serve as an example to my colleagues at this NHS Trust. If given this opportunity, I commit to respecting the vital values established by the National Health Service while displaying remarkable leadership and knowledge in my work with patients and colleagues.”
Why do you want to work for the NHS?
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. The NHS sees growth in patient numbers every year; it consistently offers great service and patient care, and it is always evolving, innovating, and improving. What this tells me is that you house an exemplary team of dedicated and motivated healthcare workers. NHS staff are not only driven by their passion to help their patients, but also by the supportive family you have built. I want to immerse myself in a workplace culture that is nurturing and proud of its employees, as well as somewhere where I can play my part in a team working collectively towards a positive common cause. I sincerely believe that my personal and professional values fit with those of the NHS, and my experience and knowledge would be best suited to an organisation of this scale, complexity, and where a high level of responsibility and accountability is required.”

Technical / Role-Specific Competencies;
Communication;
Kindness and empathy;
Personal and interpersonal growth;
Quality, Equal Opportunity, and Difference.
Wellness, Risk Management, and Protection;
The enhancement of service

The interviewer will be paying close attention to how you express yourself during the interview. All band 8A positions require strong interpersonal and communication skills, therefore it’s crucial that you practise your responses in ahead of the interview.
