"I think the biggest challenge will be learning a different patient demographic from where I've worked most of my career. I have confidence that my skills and experience will get me to where I need to be quickly from a patient care perspective, but I realize that this will take some initial focus if I'm fortunate enough to secure this role as a Band 7 Manager."

Before your Band 7 Manager interview, thoroughly read the job description and duties and put some thought into where you feel you will be challenged most coming into the job. Speak openly about where this challenge will come from, and discuss how you will tackle it on your first day on the job. This question provides an opportunity to ask about the support you will receive from your future leader, so don't hesitate to ask.
