“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this Band 8B role today. I am fully aware of the significant level of responsibility that comes with any Band 8B role. However, I am confident that, my years of experience working towards this objective and my professional, interpersonal, and management abilities enable me to manage these commitments.

I am committed to devoting my career to making a positive impact on the world. I respect the National Health Service greatly and cannot imagine a more rewarding and worthwhile vocation. I know I am not alone when I say that I have witnessed first-hand the tireless efforts and first-rate care you provide at no cost. It would be an honour and a pleasure to work for an organisation that must constantly change, adapt, and respond to external influences while also motivating and inspiring its people. If I am given the chance to do so, I promise to uphold the fundamental principles established by the National Health Service and to demonstrate an exceptional leadership and competence in my interactions with patients and co-workers.”

SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“As a leader who strives to make a positive difference, I place great importance on professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication to providing excellent treatment to patients and expect the same of my team. I am a strong believer in setting a positive example for my staff and am keen to encourage collaboration and teamworking. To guarantee that we all progress together as one NHS trust, I will regularly meet and communicate with other departments both internal and external. I intend to form strong professional relationships through open and honest communication and a friendly approach. I will support my team, offer them guidance and advice, as well as encouraging them to adopt a proactive stance towards making positive changes and progressing in their careers. I will oversee and contribute to a range of projects, quality initiatives, audits, and accreditations while striving to meet the organisation’s goals and objectives, and I will always ensure that NHS Trust policies, processes, and values are adhered to.”
