Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you will make a good general manager for the NHS?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am a dedicated, passionate, and well-organized manager that takes great professional fulfilment in contributing to the success of my team. I believe I would make an excellent manager in the NHS because I am calm under pressure, can motivate people to reach their full potential, and am capable of undertaking and managing a wide variety of duties and projects at once. I am entirely conscious of the degree of responsibility that comes with the position of management in a national healthcare system such as the NHS. In addition to being well-prepared for the challenges that come with the position, I am excited to prove my worth to the NHS as a capable and effective general manager.”
Q2. How would you demonstrate the NHS values in this general manager position?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“The six core values around which the NHS operates are working together for patients, respect and dignity, commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives, and everyone counts. Everyone in the NHS is expected to model, support, and promote these values. I will work closely with my team to ensure that they, too, demonstrate the six values in everything they do at work. I will work with other departments to ensure that our combined efforts are consistent and in line with NHS ideals. I will always act professionally and with respect towards patients, clients, co-workers, and other stakeholders, and I will strive to meet their specific requirements whenever possible. I will ensure that the organization’s regulations on patient confidentiality are strictly followed, and that no patient ever feels pressured or uncomfortable during treatment. I will treat all patients with the same degree of empathy, commitment, and dedication regardless of their circumstances or background and ensure my team do the same. Finally, I will work collaboratively on initiatives to improve quality of life; and I will be polite, attentive, and compassionate in my interactions with patients and colleagues.”
