The idea of safety in the workplace for nursing staff encompasses both patient safety and the overall safety of your team of nurses. Touch on both of these areas as you answer this question. When you answer this question, think back on the safety training you received throughout your career and reiterate how you would now become a leader of those same principles. Don't forget that you will be a proponent and follower of any established safety policies and procedures that are in place as a Band 7 Manager.

"As a Band 7 Manager, the safety of the patients on my unit and my staff would always be at the top of my mind. Protecting patients comes down to a system that prevents errors and a culture of safety among my staff. I will always ensure my staff is trained on patient care safety. I will always be watchful for hazards on patients as well. Concerning my staff, safety again comes down to training and paying attention. I would always work my hardest in ensuring that we are fully staffed and my team isn't getting burned out because that is where unsafe conditions most often happen for nursing staff."
