NHS HCA Interview

[MikeyFuckinWay]

Hi,
I have an interview for a HCA position at my local hospital on Monday.
Has anybody had an interview for the same position who can put my mind at ease?
thanks it advance :)

You’ll be fine.
Just centre the patient at the heart of your answers. Think about your answers. Be yourself.
Dignity and respect, safety, confidentiality, holistic care are really important.
Do some reading about it in journals like nursing times etc. particularly regarding the role of the HCA.
What the interview panel want to see is that you are safe, prepared to learn, work in a team and support your colleagues.
Good luck ! Just remember that they don’t want to catch you out but find the right person for the job !

Read up on the trust the job is for. For example our trust has set values that we're all expected to know and follow. They'll probably ask you some role play type questions, a time when you did this or what would you do if etc. I'd also expect them to start with a general question like why do you want this job or what skills do you have for this job etc. I'm nhs but in a different area so can't help on more specific questions but good luck op x

This is really good advice
You can buy Nursing Times magazine from WHSmiths

They'll likely ask about diversity and equity.
